chrisfowler99 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Pink Margin Fairy Wrasse jumped some time this weekend. I presume when I was doing a water change and had the cover off and wasn't looking. It's left the tank before, but I managed to get it back in. Not this time. My daughter's gonna be pissed when she finds out. She picked that one. Oh, well...I never really liked it. hmm...I could take the cover off now, I guess.

TexasTiger Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I've had my wrasses jump out several times. So far I have been there to get them back in. I've also had one of them repeatedly end up in my corner overflow and once in the refugium. Still not sure how it got in the refugium yet though, since it's underneath the tank and fed by a maxijet. I did lose a clownfish to surfing though. I had just nursed it back to health after 5 weeks in my quarantine tank and on the day I was supposed to sell it to another reefer it committed suicide. I guess she had gotten attached to the QT tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dena Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I've had a bunch of them...a damsel that lived in the tank for two years, then the eel slithered out the back and the little dog found it. I've lost a couple clowns, a couple sixline's, a lawnmower blenny, but worst of all was the Helfrichi firefish. It jumped when we were on vacation and made it through the egg crate holes.

Not someone who's just maniacally obsessed with reef tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dena Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Well...guess this thread jinxed me. My angler jumped out of it's tank last night. My favorite fish...just upgraded him to a 20g. I have no idea why he did this. There is an opening around the top about 2" around the whole tank with the light in the middle. I'm going to put egg crate on it this weekend and hope to catch another one the next time I go to the coast. I'm soooo bummed. This fish was beautiful with so much personality. No pictures...he's in a baggy in the trash now. I did hold him by his top fin and put him in the tank...like he was really going to come back to life!
