My fish are escape experts, anyone else's?

Question

i got some tropical fish not too long ago and some more today, i have 4 platys and 2 gourarmis (ok i cant spell it, lol) but for some reason i can never find all 6, theres always one platy hidden, literally invisible.

at one point i even panicked and lifted up ornaments trying to find one, just for it to return and hour later.

does this happen to anyone else, and has anyone found out where they go?

thanks lol :D

Answer 1

Kuhli loaches man, kuhli loaches. They hide so well! I have some and idk if they are even still alive, I haev not seen them in a week, i have a feeling if I lift up this large ornament they will be under it, that is where they where last time I checked. Also, unless your tank is at least a 20, those gouramis are gonna fight, to help stop this you can add lots of plants and hiding spots.

Answer 2

one of my white clouds made a bid for freedom by jumping aout the water and out the gap at the back of the hood. i wasnt amused when i found him, he was still alive though :)
