Just Had A Semi-traumatic Experience.

[blfoster]

I've been rearranging my bedroom to make space for a larger aquarium all afternoon. I slid my bed away from the wall temporarily so that I could move my current aquarium behind it, and over to the other side. As I was crawling behind my bed, I saw a curious object that resembled a leaf. I picked it up to have a closer look, and it turned out to be a dead fish. Once I overcame the initial horror of finding it, I realized that it was the fish that disappeared without a trace a couple of months ago. I had given up looking for it, assuming that it died and the others ate what was left of it.

My aquarium is right next to my bed, so I think it must have jumped out through the opening in the back of the lid and landed back there.

I did smell something coming from that corner of my room, but that's right where I keep all my fish supplies, including some unused plants, which I thought were the source of the smell.

What fish was it?

Aw, little fishy.

Do you have hood on the tank?

I've never been sure what species that one was.

There's a hood on the tank, but there's a hole in the back where the filter is. I'm assuming it got out through that.

i had a similar experience with my adf except he died at the bedroom door from my livingroom and he must have escaped through a very small hole were the wires go into the tank for heater etc etc also once one of my scissor tails jumped out of my tank during a water change though luckily i managed to save him and im more weary these days lol all part of the learning experience i suppose

I would try to cover the hole, but I'm possibly getting a bigger tank soon, so I'm waiting to see what happens. I'm till living under my parents roof, so I need get their approval before brining a 50 gallon aquarium in to the house.
