sorri for ur loss man... i had mine silver @ about 11" jumped out from a temp bucket while i was moving, da's like the worst feeling in the world to see it dry up on the floor.
da's why i'm not gonna have a silver again unless i have a freakin tall tank, like 40"-45" in height, and i'll only fill the tank half way...even then, i probably still have to shut the lid with heavy objects.
i wonder how the hell don't those silvers that live in ponds jump out...
