Living behind the background!

Last night I heard a big splash, there were no fish in that area of the tank and all the other fish were accounted for. In the overflow I found a geo orange head that had gone missing in late December. He had been living behind the 3-d background and somehow jumped from there to the overflow.

He grew normally although I don't know how food got back there. It's an Aquaterra rainforest background, so there's a little room where the 'trees' bend in and out - max maybe 3 inches.

Only had a cloudy eye, which seems to have gone away for the most part.

I felt bad he was living isolated back there for so long, but he joined the others without missing a beat. When his eye totally clears I won't be able to pick him out from the rest!

Happens all the time, I have fish that constantly go back and forth. Especially a couple of plecos. There is a window behind mine, so algae grows like crazy on the rear glass, and there is plenty of space to pass through. Only problem is, if something dies there, and is impossible to get at.

That's a bristlenose right? I have one that is exactly the same as that.

Happened to me too. 1 of my clown loaches disappeared for 1 month no where in sight. It wasnt in my sump or in the pipes. 1 day i was cleaning under my driftwood and when i took it out i saw it stuck in a cave in the driftwood! It was so hard trying to take it out but managed to. Of course he was covered in ick and i immediately put him in a quarantine tank.
