all bichirs will jump.
sorry for your loss.

Thanks, I just can't believe how much power this teugelsi had. Others have tried to jump, but could never push up the cover...

Thanks.

The skeleton is coming out well, but I ran into a problem while cleaning the skull. There are all sorts of "things" in the very center and I had to remove some bones to get it out. But, some bones are broken and I think I ruined the coolest part of the fish. I think it will still turn out nicely though...maybe some super glue will solve my problems.
 
I had a couple of Kolibas jump out yesterday. When I got home from work, there they were, under the stand. I figure they were out of the water at least 3-4 hours. One survived and the other one didn't make it. I can't figure out how they got out, as there are no openings big enough to let them through. Oh well.

Sorry to hear that, I think all poly keepers (and arowana keepers) need a lock for the top of their tank. I plan on making the lock tomorrow, hopefully it will work well. (not really a lock, just something that holds the glass down and can only be moved from the top...)
 
too bad to hear about your loss
RIP teugelsi
waiting anxiously for the snap of the skeleton
