I have a 90 gallon tank with three bumble bee platties. I originally had two but a fry popped up soon after. Couple months later all are fine. One if my original platties does like to hide sometimes for a few days. Now my newest (fry) is almost as big as the others. Thing is I haven't seen it for three days now. I have large ocean rocks and live plants. I even lifted the rocks which have many crater holes but no sign if him/her. The tank is covered. Could it be hiding inside one if the rocks? Thanks

Welcome to the forum! Missing fish are hard to account for. At the moment I am miss a couple myself. A misconception is that is they are dead they will float, but I have found that isn't always true. Sometimes days later they get stuck on the filter in take, I once had a betta get into a hollow decor and not be able to find its way out so it could breath.- really felt bad about that.
They can be elusive buggers!
Last week during water changes on my tanks, I lost sight of the little Japanese blue guppy in my 10g. All I've got in that tank are 3 silver hatchets, the little guppy and a bunch of shrimp. Usually the hatchets are the jumpers. You've got to be careful with them. Low and behold I caught a flash of color in the hang-on back filter! There was the little blue guppy on the pump side of my aqua-clear 30! He had to swim up the waterfall and get over the media into the other chamber! I've got a sponge over the intake on that filter to prevent tiny shrimplets from getting sucked in.
