missing yasha goby!

[amored]

my yasha goby didn't come out or make himself at all visible when i fed the tank today which is extremely abnormal. i keep my tank as low-nutrient as possible and only feed every 3 days so he's always hungry. i have 3 theories as to where he has gone. if anybody has any experience with a disappearing fish before, please let me know which scenario is most likely.

 

1. my maxi nem ate him.

2. he starved to death

3. he jumped and my cat ate him (i do have a screen on top of my tank but my cat has figured out how to knock it off)

 

thanks.

 

(he has been 'missing' for about a day and a half. no ammonia in the tank.)
