I was cleaning was aquarium this morning, and put my 2 small harlequins in a cup on my desk while I let the filter run. I just checked the cup, and they are no where in sight! It wasn't even that full, but I'm afraid they've jumped and are dried somewhere in my room. The problem is, I still can't find them!!

OH WOW! I'll bet you find them eventually...Were they guppies? Do you have a cat? Guppies are notorious jumpers. Guess they have kamikaze tendencies.

Yikes! A cat would definitely help.
Just keep searching until you find them, they couldn't have gotten that far.
Hurry before the rotten smell of fish fills your place. Visitors will not appreciate that.

Do you have a cat?
Checked the paper bin?
behind the desk, under your desk? drawers?
under your bed or in any cavities near the floor?

They cant go too far, get out a flash light and keep looking!
If it has been a while you might want to think about new fish.

im afriad they are long gone. even though you find them and put them in water they are dead anyway. sorry, but thats what happened to me once, with guppies, all of them jumped out of the tank, bout 40 of them at once and i only saved 5 of them. what a waste!
