Earlier this week I added a pair of scissortail gobies to my tank and I made sure that the eggcrate and screening was in place. My tank has a false back...there are 4 holes from before it was drilled for a sump...I usually keep a bunch of chocolate chip starfish in there for my Harlequin shrimp. The screen must have fallen off and I didn't notice it, so the smaller of the gobies swam into the false back...he then "jumped ship". Couldn't find him so I figured the cat got him when I wasn't looking, you know, fish jerky.
Today, I go to empty out the 5 gallon bucket I acclimated them in, OK, I'll admit I was lazy. It was sitting off to the side of the tank, on the other side of my storage unit. I go to fish some plastic bags out so I can dump the water down the drain and I see something move...totally unbelievable but there's the goby swimming around in the bottom of the bucket and NO, I did not accidently leave him in there..both gobies were swimming in the tank. The jump from the back of the tank to be even with the bucket is 34" (I measured it) and 47" down to the bottom of the bucket. So I put him in a bag to warm him up...that water was cold. Today he's out eating and doing just fine. Must have a some CAT in him with nine lives cause there is NO WAY he should have survived that move!!!
