Well Midnight, I'd have to say IF you didn't use the sink & are still tryin to get her she could be in the elbow part of the pipe under the sink still in water cuz it's not like the water gets sucked completely out of the drainpipes. I'd get a pipe wrench and get that sucker off just to see if that indeed is what happened. That's providing we are not talkin about the kitchen sink which has a disposal and she could be a poor lil fishy outa water unless you kept it trickling on her. It sounds like you need to know, so get a pipewrench, a plumber, or a boyfriend, and check it out. If she ain't there then someone probably ran the water when you weren't lookin' and she's long gone. Sorry to hear this happened. It sucks loosin' pets no matter what kind they are. Good Luck Sweetie!
If it was a less than 10 minutes ago, you need to remove the elbow of the pipe below the sink. If it has been much longer, Sunshine is going too be looking a little dark... How does a fish end up in a sink drain?
Take the U joint off the sink and see if she is there. They get stuck there just like rings do.but be quick. Gently pour dechlorinated water down, so you don't wash her down, but so she can be wet and breathe from the water. If she is not there, no it is not because of the small space. Bettas jump by nature, so she was just looking for more water.
Don't fill the bowl so full next time, or get a covered bowl.
you go to the pet store, buy a betta fish that looks like the old one, and name it the same name. nobody will ever know. I mean, how much personality does a betta fish have anyway.
Unscrew the pipe under the sink. He might be in there. If not, I'm really sorry. :(
All drains lead to the ocean.
If she/he went in the pipes you will have to get a plumber.A mouse got in our pipes and they got her out. GOOD LUCK!
She's gone, down the drain into your local sewer system. next time use a net! Here's your SIGN!

You can take off the bendy part of the drain under the sink. He should be in there, you must act very quickly though. He may suffer a bacterial infection so put a teaspoon of salt per gallon in his home for when you get him back in there. As long as his gills don't dry out he should make it. You could put a little dechlorinator down the drain in case he's in the tap water. This is kinda a touch and go situation, the possibility he could die from the trauma is there. Get out the wrench.
