Default Favourite fish pulled a kamikaze :(

so last night when i got home i noticed something odd looking behind my tank. when i got closer i noticed what it was...

my favourite fish...my sixline wrasse

he was so full of life and active. funniest fish in the tank. so sad to see him go

when i left my house around 530pm he was swimming around and enjoying himself. i dont know why he jumped. that fish never went near the surface of the water

RIP sixline. you were awesome

Sorry you lost your wrasse Dave, I lost a pencil wrasse too, made me build a canopy so no more fish will be able to jump.

ill have to make a screen or something to go on the top.

i just dont want to sacrifice light power for a screen. need to find something that will have the smallest effect on the light.

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.
