lost my first fish due to jumping

Flash, my McCoskers Flasher Wrasse jumped through the eggcrate last night i loved that guy he was one of my favorites

RIP flash

 

sorry to hear about your loss.. the odds of a fish fitting through a small hole like that.. geezz.. I guess some small hole screen mesh or silimar product might be in order.. so this doesnt happen again...

 

noooo really

 

Sorry to hear Tracy.... My foxface jumped too but luckily I was there when he did.
It really sucks..

 

i know, its so rare, but he was so small he could of easily fit through there.

i had window screen material over the eggcrate before but that blocked too much light
i may have to some other lid, thankfully my pink margins are too big to fit through the eggcrate

yea all dried up why is it that the fish that you love is the one who jumps but where the fish that you hate the most is the one who lives. at least i dont have to worry about him being beaten up by the evil chormis

 

thanks, i just wish i had decided to do it during the day i would have been home to be able to catch him

 

if only u coulda caught evil chromis yesterday

 

i know, mayb there was a reason why was so determined to try to catch him, and i failed and this is what happend i wish he would of at least landed in the puffer tank right next to the reef, my puffer wuold have been sleeping and not even noticed him, and when i woke up i would have been able to just simply scoop him out and put him back in, but he landed right on the carpet inbetween the two tanks

 

Im sorry to hear Tracy... Its time to get that damn fish and take it out..

 

don't know if the holes are any smaller than eggcrate but i built a frame out of window screen material that fits on each half of my tank (its a 55 gallon with a center brace)
instead of useing screen, I use bird netting. these are big enough holes that they don't block any light.
