I picked up 4 of these little guys last night from my LFS. I plan on getting more at a later date. I set them up in a 10 gallon quarantine tank (they're about 1 inch) with some aeration and a few little hidey areas.
Before I went to bed last night everyone was doing fine. I checked on them before I left for uni this morning and everyone was still doing well. I just checked on them an hour ago and there are only 3. I searched all over the tank, took out all of the decor and even sifted around the gravel. The 4th loach is nowhere to be found. I searched the floor around the tank and I can't find him :/ There is a small place near the filter he could have jumped through if he was very precise I suppose, but his body is nowhere to be found. Maybe one of the cats found him and took him away
Are Green Tiger Loaches(Syncrossus hymenophysa) jumpers?

The same thing happened with one of our platies, and then on of our yoyos. They jumped in the filter (Juwel, so there's a gaping hole between the heater and pump). Getting them out wasn't easy, and I almost gave up on the Yoyo. We've put a piece of filtersponge over the hole so they can't jump in again. The platy got burnt by the heater, but it healed up quickly.
