He was my oldest fish he was 6 years old and he was 7 inches long I just got done doing a waterchange checked the parameters and it was fine got the top back on the tank and then I had to leave the room I had a phone call so when I came back 5 minutes later he was on the floor still shiny and breathing I hurried up and got him back in the tank he stopped breathing all together so I tried to revive him for 5 minutes getting the water to go through his gill but he never came too ....

there is a inch wide gap beween my hood and my hob filter he had to of jumped up between the gap and some how he landed 3 feet in front of the tank :( this sucks I really want another but I know that it still will not be the same :(
