How did it get in the tank?
All my tanks are pretty much sealed!

Cool,once a moth was flying all over the front of my rtgs tank,I've never seen him move so fast,he was going mad but I didn't see the moth to start with as it was so small,I just thought he was having a fit lol.

tgm- my 75gal tank is actually open i dont have a cover for it. i know that bichirs like to jump and i will be getting a cover for it soon.
spwd- yeah my aro does the same. he likes to chase the moth back and forth along the tank.

yikes, must be a meal of the year, lol
I left my tank open as well, I've never put any lid on it, and its been almost 3 years, never had any bichirs jump out of the tank. I left the water about 15 cm from the top, and around the top of the tank there are bracing which perhaps prevent bichirs escaping from the tank.
