leichardti jumped

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Maybe you were previously feeding the tank and walked away for a minute. That's when he jumped. A minute later you came back, closed all the lids as normal and walked away without noticing he wasn't in the tank. I think that's how I lost a fish once because I couldn't come up with any other explantion. Sorry for your loss...it always sucks losing nice fish like that.
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words. Still miss him especially during feeding time :(

dude your leichardti was one of my motivational fish! damnit!

so sad to see this vanimate. not many of us on here actually have nice size leichardti's. yours was one of the nicer sized ones :(

plans on another lei? or whats ur decision in that department?

Thanks ethnics. At the moment no other lei in the plans. The afro is gonna have to be by himself for awhile. My brother offered me his jardini to take his place, but its not the same as a leichardti. Still might take him up on it though.
 
search for another lei bro, you'll feel better with yourself and your fish, i think so anyway.

jardini's are awesome fish, but just do not compare to leichardti's.

im still very sad that this guy jumped. i still remember u posting pics when mine was a wee lil guy last year. :(

makes me scared, cuz mine is about the size of yours. and my lids are very poorly designed. i will tackle a task when i get home today.
 
sorry to hear about the loss

Do it as soon as possible, because you never know when it might happen. Go to home depot and get some 4x4's the length of the tank to lay across the lids. Post up some pics, I'd love to see yours now at that size.
