Spotted Rafael Catfish Mia?

I got a spotted rafael cat a few days ago from my lfs. First day he was swimming all over the 75gal checking it out. My fish kinda checked him out, saw he wasn't a threat and left him alone.

I haven't seen him in 2 days! I turned on my black light to see if he'd come out, but only my clown knife came out of his hiding spot. No spotted rafael. I haven't searched for him in the tank, figured he'd come out on his own.

You think I should check my ornaments, pots and see? I hope he isn't dead

 

I would.

 

I would.

Ratz! I was afraid you'd say that Dawn! !! Guess I gotta go digging and hope I don't find a corpse. brb

Your so welcome Neb!!!! IM glad you found him Sleepy time for me!!! Nighty night!!!

 

I only see my 2 spotted Raphael catfish once every 2 months and they are nice and big but since they are nocturnal creatures you won't see them a lot.

 

I would give him some hiding spots for during the day they will feel more secure.

 

It’ll get into the smallest space available and stay there. You’ll only see it a few times a year. Please don’t go bothering it too often!

 

That's when they feel safe they will come out when they want to that's what they do
