    I had a blenny jump out and make it under two closed doors into a seperate room. Found him, tossed him back in, and he was fine until it did it again. Sorry for your loss.

    Sorry Matt,always a downer to find your fish dead. I'm actually going to be purchasing one this weekend! Hopefully he doesn't pull any Houdini acts ;).

    Thanks all. I appreciate the kind words.
    Man it sounds like ORA needs to start breeding Diamond Gobies. There are a lot of jumpers here! :eek:

    Thanks for info. I may give one a try, but still thinking about a Diamond. By the way, Blue Falcon got back to me and he was referring to the Banded Sleeper Goby in case anyone else wants to know.

    My Goby Jumped last night!! Dammit...only had it a week and it found the 1 1/2" inch hole in my acrylic top!! Cool little fish. I want another but I'll have to take measures to try to prevent escape.
