Tank Jumpers - have you had one?

[davo]

So many people don't have lids on that can contain there fish, and i know a lot of people have lost fish because they managed to jump out even from a tiny hole.

Vote and then post what you have lost to jumping out or any near misses.

iI now realize a 12-14 inch Oscar can knock off a glass top and light off a 120.

Even a swordtail can squeeze thru a tiny opening (the opening for the filter) and onto the ground.

Aro and a fire eel for me. I couldn't believe the size of holes that they could squeeze out of.
