Quick, 6 line wrasse story

[1Der9_3hy]

I have a 10 gallon on my desk at work, just the basics...rock, macro algaes, one fish (Diego, the 6 line). Im sitting here talking to someone walking by my desk, when i hear a small splash noise then a plop sound. I ignore it, the powerheads make little sounds like that sometimes. Meanwhile the guy im talking to eyes bug out of his head, and shouts "YOUR FISH!!! IT JUMPED OUT!!!" I scooped it up real quick, tossed it back in and so far looks no worse for the wear.

Funny timing i would be at work for the first time the fish jumps out in almost 2 years in the tank. Good thing....

Anyways, next week if he is still here im trading him in for some odd invert to keep my eyes busy instead of this jumper. And yes, i have my 2011 desktop calender covering the tank pretty well...only a few small holes he could get out.

Funny, good thing you were there :)

I was trying to get mine out last night, and he jumped out, landing on the top of the back glass of my rimless. So he was just sitting on top of the glass, leaning on the way. Pretty funny looking.

Six lines are awesome. I havent had the chance to experience that with my six line YET.

Yet is the key word. I had this one for almost 2 years, never jumped. Then one day, while im sitting there...boom! He wants out!

Ahhh....the joy of wrasse care. I had a velvet multicolor launch himself out of the tank onto the sofa about 5 feet away while I was cleaning the tank. It was almost like he was saying, "I'll be over here watching TV unil you're done".

When I had my six line I had glass covers on my tank. There was that slim slot in the back for equipment, he found that small slot and jump out. I found him on the cross member in my tank when I got home.
