Rip snowflake

[mu8st7ang]

My girlfriend texts me yesterday saying I only see one snowflake clown sure enough she found it the other behind the tank. Life must have been hard with all the eating and swimming so he decided to end it all. So now the other snowflake is flipping out swimming all over and just bigging out I should probbaly go get him a buddy? If i just drop another in there will they be ok?

...she found it the other behind the tank. Life must have been hard with all the eating and swimming so he decided to end it all.

May have been very depressed, that his owner didn't care enough to cover the tank!
:sad2:

I learned the hard way also over the years..all fish can jump not just wrasses...I even had a lion and a trigger jump ..

Albano thats not nice I care I use to have a cover on it but it was causing excess heat. Maybe I will have to setup something for them so if they jump out they will slide back in

Ah how about a screen top!

Good idea I never thought of that. Like a reptile cage top !

Make a screen top with the plastic window trims they sell at HD. Hope this helps.

Get some of that: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/clear-netting.html

No loss of light.

Then the frames and spline they sell at Home Depot.
