I was mourning the loss of one of my dalmation mollies It seemed to disappear completely about a week ago yet there was no "body". I assumed it had met its demise and its remains had been munched away.

I have just cleaned the filter box and replaced the polyfilter and there it was, swimming around in a 6" square box !!!!! It seems fit and well and is now back with his "pals".

So, anyone out there who thinks they have lost a dear friend - check your filter

Oh so sad to hear it. I so sorry. RIP

Too funny! The filter is the first place we always look before mucking around in the tank itself. That must be one sturdy little fish LOL!

I never understood this, how do fish end up in filters??? My filter intakes are way to small for even a neon to get in?

So glad you find your mollie and he is back with the others

Tis certainly a mystery

Now I know to check the filter first - caught a absconding snail in there as well so he (it) was soon put back it its place
