Silver aro jumped! help please~!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
actually i thought id be upset all day..but its a matter of life...and i had a really good day at school...Yeah..I wrapped him up in papertowels then in a garbage bag and put him in the freezer.

He was the biggest fish iv ever kept..died at 16.5in

Life goes onn
 
sorry to hear that, perhaps you should have put a powerhead to help water moving through his gill constantly while you're away
 
powerhead would have helped, but maybe the aro was already too far gone.

One has to pay utmost atention to aro tanks covers. These guys jump! It is no invention.

Has happened to all of us.....
 
The tank is completely covered...I have a part of the glass that is cut into a smalll square that i use for feeding and such...and last night i forgot to put the weights back onto it..so its my stupid mistake...and i have 3 powerheads and 900gph pump inside the tank at all time
 
sorry for your loss, but these sort of things occur often within arowanas.
 
sorry for your loss..
 
sorry for your loss...but on the upside you get to go shopping for a new arowana^_^

..and now you'll not forget to wight the top...lessons learned the hard way usually stick the best .

but it always sucks losing a fish:(
 
Sounds like somebody needs to design tank tops that are pre weighted. Or hey...silicone the weights to the glass. Now you cant forget. Sorry to hear about your loss
