My Ruby Head committed suicide...

so my ruby head fairy wrasse jumped last night (what my parents said) and they tried 2 revive it but it was gone. so my dad is now making a screen for the top of the tank (hindsight is 20/20 right?) its a 46gal ...tank mates r 2 percs+mccoskers...its in the beginnings of becoming a reef...what fish would u get?

 

uhg.. wrasses. they are know for this. sorry to hear.

 

This has happened to me before. My sixline and mckosker jumped. I didn't think it would happen to me, but it does. IMO, it's not a question of whether they will jump but when. I would try to get a lid of some sort on there ASAP to prevent the McCosker's from jumping.

 

Sorry about your loss! Get a lid on there.

 

I have read that wrasses will also jump through eggcrate as well. To prevent jumpers, you would need to put a netting over the top, but that would also impact your lighting.

 

i had two that ended up in my overflows. my favortie little creature to add is an convict bleeny there funnie to watch

 

Sorry for your loss
