Hi
I found my brand new O S goby on the floor today ugh. I didnt think they were jumpers! .. Or is this an exception? They dont seem arodynamic or something enough to accomplish this :-/
I'm going to finally make my net cover.

YEs, firefish are known jumpers, and I have a mesh screen top, he was just small enough to fit thru one of the tiny 1/4" square holes I guess.

that is pretty crazy, and then still have the speed to continue through that resistance, as he must have touched it going through. so weird

Yeah I really felt horrible for the little guy :crying-face: he was finally starting to feel safe in the tank. But I guess while I was at work one of the fish spooked him, and he darted up
