Just lost an orino

[Hardhead]

Just feed my orinos in my growout tank half hour ago. Jumped in shower went back down to turn off the tank light and i was missing a orino cannot tell if its a rio meta or rio apure since they r all the same size now. He jumped out of the back of the tank were the filter is. Any suggestions to close it up tighter so those others dont meet the same fate? The gap is only about a half an inch in the only open spot in the tank.

Good idea will do right now. At least it wasnt my rio jari, then i would be really p.o.ed

any pics of your fish?
i would love to see how the rio jari looks like

The3 orinos i have left are only 2" the rio jari is about 3". He has been bullying the others thinking that is what made the one jump. Going to try some pick up some dithers tomorrow. See if i can get a good pic of the rio jari. Thinking of getting another one to replace the one i lost

Damn that sucks, what are the odds of it jumping through that little gap? I keep all my tanks well covered, cichla are known jumpers.
