My boy is missing , i didn't see him yesterday but thought he could be hiding . But today after feeding them i still don't see him. My next step is to remove the caulerpa and rocks, that going to be a mess . I hope i find him i am very attached to them.

I am so sorry! I hope you find him soon.
Is this the one who just had the babies.

Sorry to hear he is missing, Terri. He was difficult to find last time I as there too. Sometimes when the males are pregnant, they will go into hiding. Be careful removing the caulerpa as they can be hiding in the middle of it unseen.

Well after removing everything and still no luck , i took off the background, there he was stuck between the glass and pump cage . dead .. I am so mad at myself i should have done this yesterday, i might have found him in time.

Yes this is the one we thought was but, Matt thinks the babies were redi . I can't believe i lost him, he was courting the other day right after i got back from vac.. he was so nice. Now the kuda/ erectus is couting the female erectus. she seams to like him. Matt thinks the kuda is erectus anyway. so maybe it will work.

I am soo sorry for your loss. It is amazing how small of a spot they can fit into.

You shouldn't be mad at yourself, even finding him yesterday may not have been enough.

:cry: So sorry for your loss terri

Thanks everyone. I thinned out the macro, so i can see more. And moved the pump away from the back glass. There is one thing i just thought of. When i use to have one pair, and something would happen, i would worry alot about the other one being alone. This is the first time she has others . But she is staying up front looking at me, do you think they know. I think they do. Most of my horse sleep together at night all but Sterling WC . But even he is staying down at the bottom of them at night. I am lucky putting them together( not all at once) seamed to work .The tank is peaceful . Not recommending this it just happened and has worked so far.
