Clownfish vanished

Oh and I don't have a cat only a tortoise I think it's unlikely that he took a fish

Any updates?

While your sailfin may not show signs of aggression towards existing fish, don't be surprised if it does not agree w/ newcomers taking up it's space.
As far as it's remains, bristleworms can rid that over night.
I have had fish disappear and found their dried remains years later

Ok is there anything I can do make adding new fish easier as I don't want to have anymore fatalities if I can avoid it not seen any aggression towards the goby or gamma from the tang any they both seem happy and healthy feeding well

As others have said the tang will probably get more aggressive as it grows and the space becomes smaller. The tank is about half the recommended minimum.

But even in appropriately sized tanks the recommendation is to add the most aggressive fish last. You may want to move him to qt for a couple of weeks and reintroduce him once all your other fish are introduced.

if i had to guess it slipped into the sump via the overflow and the skimmer pump ate it. ive lose a few small fish like that on larger tanks.

 

[Marchillo]

Wouldn't there be some evidence in the collection cup of this happened?

I agree a sailfin in a 100g tank is most likely never going to take it well on sharing that limited space and eventually will need to go to a bigger tank.
