After looking at all of your pics its no surprise he jumped out 5 Oscar's and a aro? Thats tank is way over stocked

In my experience aros and Oscars are not good match this is my experience I have three aros and not one of them jumps I have a 19 inch aro right now that I got at about 4 to 5 inche on may 25 2014 so less then a year. my aros do not jump and hit the lid I can touch my big one and he wont budge. Do they jump in the wild yes for food I feed them massivore pellets witch sink and they go right to the bottom to get them. Also allot of fish can grow 3 inches a month gars arapiamas aros and even some plecos I know this to be a fact becuz I have everyone of those fish I just mentioned and if fed everyday to there hearts content they can grow very quickly tank size playes a huge role in growth. My aros in my 450g gallon tank and will grow so much faster then somebody with a 100g or even a 200g u cant convince me other wise I have living proof.

so you went from 4 or 5 inches to 19 inches in 9 months? Thats either 1.55 or 1.67 inches a month depending on the starting point you want to use. its about half the growth rate of what you said is normal...

Well if u read the posts before reposting u would of read that I said I was basing the length of the fish off how big it looked not how big he said it was and honestly every month has been different one month its 3 inch growth one month its a half inch they have sperts in my experience

There is no quarrel here I am sorry for your loss I was just giving you my input you don't have to take it what you do with your tank and your fish is your business no one elses the only other thing I could say is make a really strong durable canopy mine weighs about a hundred pounds it's a little over exaggerated but I know even if my fish do want to jump there is zero chance they could knock that thing off good luck

I would however like to see a measuring tape up against that fish I could be 100% wrong but he just doesn't look 20 inches plus to me but like I said I could be a hundred percent wrong its just a picture.
