A few weeks ago, we move our 55 gallon aquarium across the living room. It took us five hours to move the tank less than 10 feet. We took the opportunity to rearrange the rock and corals. When we finished, everybody looked fine and all fish were present.

But, a few days later, we noticed we were only seeing two of our pajama cardinals rather than all three. At first, we thought that one of them was just hiding, or that we were only seeing two at a time. Even at feeding time, when all the fish normally come out, we'd only see two. We started thinking we had lost one.

This went on for two weeks before we decided that, yes, we must have lost one, even though we never found a dead fish. So, on our next trip to the LFS, we picked up another pajama cardinal. Almost immediately after we introduced the new fish, we did a quick count and saw FOUR pajama cardinals! It turns out we didn't really lose on, we were really just seeing two at a time. So now we have four pajama cardinalfish.
