So I woke up today and went to feed my fish and this is what I found.

As you can tell by the pics he was 30"+ The thing I don't get is the hole he got out of is only about 11" square!!!! and he was about 8" tall so he didn't have much room to get out the hole. Plus a 4'shop light sits on the hole so it has some weight.


It looks like when he got out of the tank he landed on some glass I had siting of to the side. b/c as you can see from the pics the glass is busted.

I had to wrap him up in two garbage bags and put him in a cooler b/c neither of my freezers would fit him. So now he sits in a cooler outside hoping that keeps him cold enough not to rot to bad.




So how's your day so far :irked::cry:

Oh no. Sorry for your loss, he looked to be a beast.
 
sorry to hear\see... :(
 
Man, that sucks. I'm sorry to see it:(
 
Why do fish jump?... If you jump out, how will that help you?... Fish can be so stupid...
 
Think of my suprise to go downstairs with my bag of shrimp and going WTF I only see ONE SILVER. It was horrible. I thought with that top being 1/2" playwood and the holes being .25" acrylic there would be NO way I would have a successfull jumper.

thanks for the condolences this has deffinitly ruined my day.
