Arizzle Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I bought 5 yoyo's just over a week ago. Tonight I decided to transfer them from my quarantine tank to the display tank, but can only find 3. I had sponge filters and 1 large ornament in the tank. They are 12cm long. So, pretty easy to find... I would have thought. Any ideas on what happened to the missing 2? Thanks.

lollies Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Jump out the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizzle Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I looked inside the ornament, and checked the filters. I can only assume they jumped out. There was a 3cm gap at one end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I still say they are inside the ornament......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky19862 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Mate [MENTION=9246]Donny@ageofaquariums[/MENTION] is probably right! I had 5 clown loaches and 2 Pakistani loaches cram themselves into an ornament. Never saw them for months!!! Get a torch or a light and have a real good look inside the ornament. When I realised they were in it it took me an hour to get them all out by slowly removing and draining it and putting it back under again. Not the nicest way but it got them out eventually and they're all still alive. Consequently I now don't keep ornaments or rocks they can wedge themselves into and hide like that! Plus side is taking that ornament away made them become more sociable!! Good luck with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 The amount of loaches I have found in a bucket after removing all the ornaments too it......... and scratching my head at the bare tank! Guys sure can wedge themselves right in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyr Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have 5 kulhi loaches and only ever see 1 all the rest have found hiding spots that I can not think of and never see them I have searched the tank and all around it to see if they jumped out but nothing. Even thought that they got sucked up into the filter but still nothing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
