First jumper.

[ejwp]

Well i had my first jumper. Came home from work and went to feed my little guys in a grow out and was missin one. I think it jumped out next to the filter.

May be awhile before another one shws up out here but i guess i will have to try again when i find another one.

I had a 16" Ornate that did this, usually they live long enough to be put back in the tank tho because they do well out of water. Mine jumped out, crawled into the kitchen (where my mom was making lunch) and scared her half to death. It lived a good 1-2 hours before I came home and put him back in the tank.

i had a 20 inch koliba that jumped out during the night, found him next to the tank, thought he was dead until i picked him up. almost scared the crap out of me when he started to move again lol placed him back in the tank , but he ended up dying a week later. seemed like he wasnt able to fully regenerated all of his slime coat.

Deep- I wish I would have found mine alive but it was basically dried to the floor. But I'm gone for work 12 hours a day so I have no idea how long it was out on the floor.

Thanks lix.
