We took everything out the tank and checked the filters and in the plants the best we could and can't find orange guppy :c Really don't know where he could have died.

Guppy's can be jumpers so you may want to look around the tank on the floor (But if you have a cat or dog they might have found him).

c: There's a lid on the tank, no way he could have jumped out. He was ill before he disappeared and hanging around the bottom, so even without a lid he probably wouldn't have jumped
But if he did then the cat will definitely have eaten him XP

I heard of a person who kept hogchokers(they are tiny freshwater flounder) and lost one in her 10 gallon tank with a sand bottom. she finally sifted the sand in search of the flounder. She gave up and went out and bought a new one just to discover that the first fish was still alive.

@The above quotes-

It may still be alive, I had a sick fish and I couldn't find it anywhere at all, not in the plants, decor, filter, nowhere, and then a few weeks later he turned up as good as new swimming around. Maybe fish can secretly teleport to fish doctors.

Just brought home 24 blue neons... They were expensive(3,8/tail, I've seen 2,5 at cheapest and my group was 2,95/tail) and I was only planning on buying 10 if the price was right, but I guess the seller did their job and I walked out with 20 anyway. >_< They give you 2 extra for free for every 10 shoal fish you buy, plus all the tetras were -20% off, so...
Sadly few of the baby corries have been died, so I think I only have like 8-10 babies left(out of 15). All adults are doing well though and even though one otto looked like it might die any minute, it pulled through and has been perfectly normal for few days now.

So in total my tank currently has:
34 blue neon tetras(or green neon what ever you like to call them)
7 corydoras metae(bandit cory?) plus 8-10 babies
2 ottos
Can we pretend that the airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now...

Does anyone know what is needed/required to be able to properly care for a catfish? I don't have one, but there's this really cool one at the pet store. Basically, I just need to know:
1. Water temperature requirements?
2. Tank size?
3. Food type?
4. Does it need a heater and/or filter?
5. Does it get along with other fish types? If so, what kind?
Sorry, but thanks ^-^

what kind of catfish is it? some catfish only need five gallons while some need 500+ gallons to survive.

So angry!

Our goldfish filter stopped working two days ago, so today we finally brought home a new one only to find the thing had a part missing! So now the poor goldfish are stuck with a multitude of tiny filters for their 55 gallon tank.

Ugh, we'll be running off tomorrow- again- to get another new filter >_>
