My tanks are about 14 feet apart and I get the feeling that my fish must have some sort of competitive male bragging thing going on because every once in a while one tries to make the jump. They must get all hoped up on the joy juice (daily ZEOvit Dosing) and the rest just laugh and take bets. To date non of them have made it.

LOL... I totaslly expected you to finish that story with "and then one day one actually MADE the 14 foot jump" lol

Sorry about the 6line Puff I'm trying to figure out to do with my top as well, I don't want a bulky "box" nor am I happy cutting down on the light with a screen

ive come up with a slight(ly ugly) fix that i might try.

im thinking of getting some of my leftover eggcrate and putting a "lip" about 3" tall around the sides, but not the front. ive lost two fish to jumping, both out the same side of the tank.

it doesnt go as far as adding a canopy, doesnt cut down light, and should stop anything else jumping overboard.
