Especially when they are small

yeah definitely learned from it, and I already covered the gap with egg crate until i can get something that looks a little better

I've always used some custom cut acrylic from Lowes. Even put some lead fishing weights on there for insurance. But with lower jaws may need something bigger.

Thanks guys... The more I look at the cover on the tank the more I feel like he must have jumped through the return waterfall to get out. At least he went out in what must've looked like a pretty sweet John McClane-esque move

Sux to lose a fish. Had a 15" lap jump out of a 1x2 inch square gap in the back. Luckily I heard the rusting noise in the stand. Rip endli

Yeah that's what I was thinking actually. In a couple weeks they're gonna be moved to my 110, which has nice snug fitting glass lids that are pretty heavy, so they should be good in there

Yeah it really does. That's crazy, sounds like it would be impossible, good thing you heard it. If only my endli had jumped out yesterday, I spent the whole day in the basement and probably would've noticed if he was out
