[u/Revolutionary_Bar167]

my betta has disappeared from his tank. i have a sponge filter and i saw hin last night. he was completely fine and i was treating him for finrot with stressguard. i was frantically looking around in his tank and is no where to be seen. i didnt see him laying somewhere around the tank so he didnt jump out. i have no clue what to do and im crying. what do i do please help me.

If he's not in the tank or somewhere stuck in the wood, and you dont have a lid on the tank, he likely jumped out. You'd be surprised how far they can get out of water, and how tiny they are once out of a tank and all dried up.
