SAME!!! I would have freakedddd out. I had a beta fish that I got as a gift and I made my friend come clean the bowl and stuff. He also took it home over Christmas break. Well Spring break came, and I figured I'd take it home. I was super careful with it on the car ride home, but the next day when I went to feed it, it was gone. I scanned my desk, but didn't see it. I was freaked out and didn't want to find it dead on the ground. I shut my door, avoided my bedroom and waited until my dad came home and made him go find it! I was so freaked out! I guess it committed betacide.

Did your dad find it?
Bettas can surprisingly jump! My roommate and I have a lid on the tank, but I keep finding the damn thing in the air bubble tube because he uproots it.
One time I was home alone and had to care for our outdoor fish. One died. So I ran to the bait shop and replaced it. The next day I found the replacement dead and half eaten outside the pond. It was so unpleasant, I nearly cried.
