What the hell?! One of my dead fish has re-appeared!!
I posted yesterday that over Sunday night, I lost two of the red-tailed sharks that I'd just bought and put in a quarantine with the other 2 red-tails (total of four) and the four moonlight gouramis I bought on Sunday. I put all 8 in the quarantine tank.

I woke up Monday morning, and two sharks were missing. Totally. No sign they';d ever existed.

I even pulled out the tall plants, just to make sure. And checked the filter, to make sure they weren't in there. And they weren't on the floor.

And it's only a 10 gallon aquarium, with a bit of gravel - not a lot.

All day yesterday, every time I looked at the aquarium to check, and to feed, and sometimes just to watch, it was just the fish that were there Monday morning.

Now, just now, this morning, I go into to feed the remaining fish, and THERE'S AN EXTRA FISH! One of the red-tails is back!

WHERE THE HELL WAS IT?!

2. But where?! There's nowhere to hide!
Unless he buried himself under a pile of gravel, which I guess is the only logical assumption.

But why would a fish bury itself for 24 hours or more?

ARGH!!

12. Ah, of course! With Mercury in retrograde,
and Jupiter dominant in this sector, while Mars spins through the cusp and Pluto, the underworld, is so far gone it might as well be Rush's integrity, we should expect unusual things to happen that relate to water and life.

There will also be a fluctuation in the stock market.

16. No, it doesn't! I feng shuied it, and have the room filled with copper
chemtrail elimianting tubes and chakra stones, and I have a pyramid over the tank.

I thought that was enough?!?! Oh, boo hoo!!

9. I don't know, but maybe they do bury themselves when in
unfamiliar situations, until the feel comfy The other will probably turn up now. Amazing

19. didn't catch it before: do you live alone?
If not, is someone gaslighting you? (trying to make you think you're going crazy?)

22. Yep, all alone. So no one's gunning me,
unless it's the fish themselves.

You never can tell with fish.

They're always silent.

Too silent.

23. Do you happen to have one of these?


If you do, put..it...down...now and back away slowly. Give yourself some time and your fish will stay visible.
