Well, my new 16" teugelsi jumped out of the tank. I found him laying on the glass top of my tank this morning, I have a canopy, so luckily, he didn't end up on the floor. He looked dead, but I poured water on him and noticed a small spasm. I got a zip-lock bag, filled it with water, and placed the teugelsi in it. He was alive! I put him back in the tank, but unfortunately, when I got home he had passed. I suppose he was out of the water too long to survive. He was also beat up and looked to have internal bleeding...I'm so angry, my 16" teugelsi! Moral of the story, keep at least 20 pounds of weight on your cover. I'm going to make a bar that slides up and then to the left. The only way to open the top will be by moving the bar both directions, which a fish surely can't do. I'll make a thread in the DIY section when I get started.
I'm boiling him now, to get the skeleton. Supposedly they look really nice, so at least I can look forward to that. I'll post pics of the skeleton later too.
