Hey everyone, its been awhile since I have posted..
some of you may remember shots of my two giant lemon finned barbs (in a 90 soon to be 150).
well... the other day - disaster struck
one of the monsters jumped right through my glass top and two strip lights during the night..too late by morning.
the fish must have got spooked and hit the top with such force that it pushed up the peice of glass, sliding back one of the 4 foot lights (turning it on in the process) and made it out of the tank.
I could not believe it had I not seen it with my own eyes..
even with a full glass top (old style 3 peice) and two 4 foot lights on the tank, the monster fish made it out.
as luck would have it, my LFS had a few small ones in (about 4 inches) and I grabbed one. I would like to have grabbed all three, but a 4 inch barb will be 10 inches long in about 6 months the way these fish eat. I don't have the room for more than two until I relocate them to a monster tank..
so far, no problems with the monster 18 incher swimming with the little one..
