The previous Aros all died within days of purchase,the first was a two incher,the others were around four inches in length.There was some years passing between each purchase.The two incher was probably quite delicate at that age but the others were more robust.I remember trying them in newly cycled tanks or tanks with little bio load and they seemed to just perish.The last one was the only jumper.I know this has nothing to do with a curse it just sucks that the Jar is one of my all time favorites and I have had rotten luck with them.808living;1795401; said:Bummer. Thats how my first silver died, it jumped out from a very small hole in the back of my tank. Was the other aros that you kept died from jumping out of the tank?
