They can do that??

[fishyjessie]

last night we got two large feeder gold fish to live with the turtle. they looked healthy when we got them, one was looking a bit peeked when it was in the transistion tank. all new fish go here first, there seems to be a nasty sickness in town. i was watching him all night, so i left the lid off! when i got up in the morning, there was only one fish in the tank. there is no clue as to where the missing fish may be. im thinking he jumped and got eated by the dog. poor fishy. i didnt know they could do that.

Yes fishyjessie, fish can and do jump out of tanks.

Check out this link for a thread about keeping tank lids open or closed:

I've lost a pleco and an eel from jumps. The pleco i was on vacation and when i came back i didnt see it and found it on the floor. The eel i thought burrowed so i searched the whole tank and coulnt find it the next day i found it under the tank in the cabnet. Maybe it was the cat.

Seems we have a lot of fish go missing......i guess if they want to go, they want to go

only now do i realize the Goldies ate my Minnow.
