Goby excaped

I got home from my daughters house and my other daughter walked by my tank and announced, " hey, you got a fish in this side thing". I got up and looked and my sand goby had managed to get into overflow box and a crab too. I took my top off and had to fish him out. I would have died if something would have happened to him...

 

Yeah they can jump! I'm going to cover my overflow area so they cant get in there, I don't want to have to fish them out of there all the time.

 

my first one jumped out of the tank, I didn't find him until he was dried up.

This time I have a new tank, put the glass lids so that it couldn't jump out, but never thought it could get into the overflow... Well I know better now. I gotta figure out what to put over it so it can't do it again.

 

I don't know how handy you are at DIY projects but here is a good one your 19 year old could probably help ya with if needed
