Gilligan is missing

[Bluerooster]

I have 4 goldfish, and a minnow. The minnow (Gilligan) is missing. I can't find him anywhere.

Give it time. Maybe he went on a 3-hour tour.

Give it time, most likely hiding. they are tough to find sometimes. Maybe he is trying to find the Skipper

Yeah, I lost him about this time last year. I figured he was in hiding amongst the rocks, so I poked about with a stick hoping to flush him out, just to make certian that he's still here. But to no avail.

I say he'll be back. We had a fat fantail that disappeared on a regular basis. Thought she was dead and gone many a time. She finally did go belly up this summer, which we knew because she was, well, belly up!

FYI, I don’t think the lifespan of a minnow is more than a few years. I could be wrong, but they’re not long-lived like goldfish.

I finally found him. He was hanging out by one of the pump intakes. This guy is not your usual minnow.
I've no clue as to what he really is, But he came with a dozen bait fish from the local bait shop. But has in the past 12 months grown to be about 6" long, 2" tall, and about 1-1/2" wide.

Glad you found him!

He was probably with Ginger. I know I would!
