Had fish jump!

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Dang I forgot and left the net cover off the tank last night after I fed and this morning I found my solar fairy wrasse still soft and damp but dead and a Hi Flame Wrasse dried up near him. Got another Hi Flame MIA. :(

Dang one mistake, one time and that happens.

Ugh! Been there, done that. Sorry for the losses.

Wow, 3 fish in one night... I still don't understand why wrasses are jumpers (what are they going after??). Sorry to hear Rev

Sorry to hear that. I made the same mistake and lost my female platinum.
I left the cover off for 10 minutes tops.

Well found the 3rd wrasse in the overflow so it is fine but I did lose the two. Thanks.

Sorry to hear Rev. Glad that the other flame made it!

holy crap.. 3 at once... what are the odds...

 

[Troylee]

wow that's crazy!!!!! are you putting a net over your new tank??? i wasn't going to but this makes me want to...:cry:

 

[LegoZ81]

Sorry man, that sucks! :(
I've had to fish my Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse out of the overflow already once and that was a huge pain!

I lost a flasher due to no cover on my 125. Randomly I also had a goldfish jump years ago as well as one of my koi. luckily I made it down in time to save the koi, but RANDOM!

I guess what they say is true that death always come in 3's I lost 3 this morning one Fox Face rabbit fish (not known for being a jumper) one firefish (typical) and one clown fish.......and here what I can't wrap my head around they were from 3 different tanks..

 

[littlefish]

I think I forgot to mention this but they all jumped! lol

 

[Paul_N]

That sux! This is the main reason I have not added any more fish to my temp setup. I don't have a cover for the rubbermade tub. I just can't believe 3 fish in one evening...:sad:

They might have gotten spooked by another fish. Wrasses have quick bursts of energy and "fly" out of water pretty easily.

Sorry for your losses :sad:

Sorry to hear about your loss Rev I know just about everyone in this hobby has experienced a jumper loss at one point or another I know I have and it sucks :cry:

 

[Xler8n]

Sorry for your loss REV. Im facing the same situation. I want to get a pair of Helfrichis again and im trying to decide what i should use to cover my 75 gallon that has Metal Halides. So as to aviod expensive carpet surfing lessons. LoL

 

[nlandgraf]

Sorry to hear. I hate noticing fish missing, only to find fish jerky behind the tank a few days later.

You should build a mesh top using window screen framming. They sell the clear screen at BRS.
