My silver aro jumped out the tank overnight. Now one coolest fish I've ever had and only one that acted like pet (you can pet them) is dead. Poor thing she was pretty.

What are the plans with the fish? I know some members have kept their big aros in freezers. Not sure if there is a plan for it.

Mine did the same thing years ago, luckily I was headed to the restroom and heard it jump and was able to save it. Two steps from my bedroom door to the bathroom door, good timing I guess.

Sorry for your loss.

Pretty common with arowanas. Sorry for your loss. Now go get another one! Make sure to cover all the little spaces it can get to. Trust me somehow they can get through like a 3" opening lol
