Best to have a tightly secure lid. Your congi jumped out twice and you plan to get another one. Fix the problem first before getting a new. Make sure the cover is tightly secure. If it is, not even a 30"+ bichir can escape. I often find bichirs jump put of their tank when it'sway too small for them.

I'm sorry for your loss Troy. Bichir is good at escaping. Make sure to cover all opening, including the opening for your hob filter.

You didn't even bother to find out how big is his tank..
