Lost two yellow clown gobies in a row, both jumped out of the tank. If I knew they were jumpers I would've installed a net.

This information was not available to me.

Just to try to prevent future suicidal events within the hobby, fish are not to blame and shouldn't pay for it.

Cheers
 
Sorry for your loss :(

Thanks, poor guys.

Everywhere I read about them previously to putting them in my tank said nothing about them jumping. Although the little suckers actually nipped off tiny pieces of my corals, which I did read about.

Took me some time to figure out they had jumped, being so small. But as soon as I realized, I did my research and ended up right where you pointed, BRS.

Both the net and the gobies are in the mail, this won't happen again.

Great quote! Cousteau was my hero when I was a kid, used to dream of going with him and his crew aboard the Calypso in his frogmen adventures. He inspired me to become an open water diver and so much more. Inspired a whole generation.
