sad easter for me

everl0ng · 04/08/2007, 05:17 PM

my favorite of my fish, my six-line wrasse, decided to jump out of the tank onto the floor and try to play with the cats i guess...what a bold critter. why does it always happen when you're not home to see it and put them back? ha

I am sorry for your loss

. I have one and would be devastated if that happened.

JRistau81 · 04/08/2007, 05:43 PM

I sympathize. Had that happen except my biggest problem with it was that it was a new 50$ flame angel, soon got a cover, but a yellow diamond goby somehow managed to make it through the eggcrate! Not a fun month.

i used to use eggcrate, but it seemed to block out a lot of light, even when i switched it over to make sure i had the eggcrate diffusing the correct way, so i just took it off. now i guess i need a suggestion for a new fish. this was my second 6-line that did that. i think i am done with them. now with my stocking list, i am not sure what to go with next?

Had a sixline also jump. I had him for over 3 years.

crazyguy34834 · 04/08/2007, 09:27 PM

I had my firefish go carpet surfing, I guess the new angel scared it to death.

H2OBUM · 04/08/2007, 09:34 PM

Just waiting to hear the good news in 3 days. Hurry put him in a tomb

The only fish thats will NEVER jump out of any tank are the big fat goldfish. Orandas, Lionheads, Ryunkins ect.. You know the ones that look like they swallowed a golfball. I have a problem with goldfish jumping out of my pond after a hard rain or when I add water after a long drought. The big fat ones stay put everytime. I guess they just can't get any air but that is a good thing.

jepuskar · 04/09/2007, 07:31 AM

Do you have a crash cart near your tank for artifical refishtation?

Kengaroo131 · 04/09/2007, 07:43 AM

that sucks sorry to hear that my cleaner shrimp died yesterday too.

Candi · 04/09/2007, 07:43 AM

sorry for your loss, my beloved puffer was a jumper this past week as well RIP Wasabi

Sorry no recommendations for a replacement, my other favorite fish is a firefish but those are jumpers too.

Aliie · 04/09/2007, 07:47 AM

Explain to the next one that the cats are not suitable playmates. Sorry that you lost your fish......hopefully the rest willlearn from it's mistakes. I wish!!
