Ah man, sorry to hear that. Really Sucks!! Sorry for the loss...

Sorry to hear that, so are your lids on tight, or any room to get out around the filter hoses ??

thats sucks dude
maybe it was the lids or maybe you offended the fish gods

definetly not enough room aound the filter hoses.. its a acrylic tank so not many openings up top... the only thing i can figure is the covers start to bow upwards. i flip them over every now and then. she might of hit the top just right to get out, but neither of the lids were out of place.

Ah that sucks man, sorry for the loss. I sometimes wonder if fish have some kind of teleportation skills.

That sucks man. I know there's a lot of hard work that goes into growing those suckers out.

For this exact reason, I built wooden hoods over all my tanks. I have soem big fish that have tried to jump out before.

Sorry to read this Keith. Was your wife mad at you recently?

lol, ya that was my first thought.. but then i relized she would neverrrrrrrrrrr reach into the tank no matter how upset she was.

jeeez... Crazy how fish keep jumpin out! lol... they want freedom that bad?! I know yours was in a mixed tank, you think someone chased it enough so it just committed suicide?

dude that sucks... did you check to make sure she didn't have legs? but seriously sorry for the loss

super sad. I'm sorry! Sometimes it's almost as if they have little suction cups and are just a wee bit suicidal.

Always sad to hear when a fish is lost.

oh , oh .... that sucks ..it happened to me a month ago with my female dovii .... sometimes i think the males just want a divorce so they toss them out on there bare fin ..lol
