Last time a fish of mine went missing, it had found a way into a piece of decoration I didn't realize had holes in it big enough for the fish to swim into.
(In fact, it didn't have holes big enough for the fish to swim into. It had a hole about the size of a quarter near the bottom, and she was a three inch Oranda. I have no idea how she got in there.)
I had to pull the damn thing apart piece by piece underwater with pliers. Took over an hour. And the fish went from having one gimp fin (she came like that) to two and a bent side to her fan tail.
When this happened, I'd realized it happened once before, when she'd gone missing for a week in what I until then thought had been a practical joke (office fish tank, and a bunch of people needed to get me back for other pranks). That time, she reappears a bit skinnier than she had been, and slightly lumpy.
She was a special fish...
Anyway, the moral of the story is there are probably places to get stuck in your fish tank that you don't know about.
