Came home from work today and my wife told me that she heard a loud sound in the garage. She said she checked my tanks and didn't notice anything unusual about the fishes. So upon closer inspection I knew that my aro jumped when I saw this:
..notice how he was able to push the whole 6.5' x 3' frame along with the cover:
..and it is supposed to be flushed along the top of the tank like this:
I thought I had the cover secured pretty good but I was wrong. I'm going to reinforce it some more on my day off. I have a plexiglass portion in the middle of the cover for the lights and my aro is not very skittish so I think the reason he jumped was he saw a 3" grasshopper chillin' on the wall. I caught the hopper and fed it to him, he's pretty happy after that. So I told him next time you see something like that, don't hurt yourself by jumping. Just wait for daddy and I'll catch it for you lol. Just thought I'd share.
