    Default not a good week for fish..

    I've had 3 fish jump in the past week n 1/2.

    a 6line outta one tank.

    2 clowns out of another.

    an orange occy than bought a black occy to replace it and i just found it on the floor this morning.

    this sucks.

    Hate to hear of this happening. Is there a reason you don't have your tank covered?

    i have a few HOB stuff on both tanks along with MH pendants hanging from the celieing.

    one tank is a hexagon. difficult to cover. and lately since im going to be switching over to the 90g soon, it would have been a waste to make one... but i guess not.

    I dont have my tank 100% covered because of heat and I dont like the metal nets, BUT I havent had any issues.

    Only the front 2/5 of my tank is covered by glass and then the rest is covered by my light but that is about 5 inches above the tank so they could still get out if they got the right angle.

    Heat is my enemy.

    heat is my enemy as well.

    mike thats on here i went to his place to get some rock and his covers were made of a nylon netting which i might look for and use. my tanks have been sent up since sept and nov and never had any issues.

    its like right when i decide to get his 90g 3 fish decide to just end it.
