I have had 2 fish just vanish from my tank, a scooter dragnet and a banana wrasse, did not look sick or anything wrong, any ideas please

Don't know about the dragnet but my guess is that the wrasse is sleeping in your sandbed somewhere. It is common for them to hide in the sandbed for weeks at a time when stressed out.

How well has the scooter been eating, and how long have you had it for?

The wrasse may have jumped out of the tank - have you had a good look around? Any cats or dogs?

The scooter was eating well, nice and plump, i had him for about 18 months, I just put some more copepods in tank, i have a good supply,

It doesn't sound like starvation was the problem then :confused:

no, they looked healthy , full bellies,the only thing i have been doing is treating the glass anemones with the red sea treatment, is that likely to hurt them?

Just found wrasse under the sand after more than 3 weeks , looking fat and healthy, then gone again, what would be wrong??
