yep, it is not easy losing any fish, but i just cant bring myself to getting another one knowing their track record. i felt i was really fortunate to have one do so well.
the only thing i can think is that it was having a dispute with the fu and jumped to get away, but i dont know.

i dunno...i can say without reservation that fuzzies can and will jump, even lone specimens (both times ours were alone). i dunno if they get spooked, or what.
Renee and i were just talking yesterday how much it sucked for you to lose the bluefin of all fish. you are to be commended for your success, however. if you can find another fish in good shape, i'd say go for it (but i suck at restraint).

Somehow I think that is an understatement for all of us! :lol:
Really Ace -- you have had two really sad losses. My heart goes out to you.

Thanks so much for taking the time to really flesh out this thread with pics/info, it has been really fun to read. 
I too have lost dwarf lion to jumping from tank. I have a pet theory that it is overly-enthusiastic hunting behavior that causes them to fly from the top of the tank.

happyclam - thanks, yes i do 5 gallon water changes twice a week
trigger - sounds like a good theory, i just never expected that type of behavior from a lion.
sorry it has been so long since i have updated.
turns out, the last day of my vacation at the end of june, i got a phone call that all of my fish were dead (actually the eel and the red coris survived). apparently the foam prefilter got clogged up while i was away and the circulation decreased so much that there was not enough gas exchange overnight when the wavebox is off.
i am only now really starting to enjoy the tank again. i have a volitans that is about 5" long (was tiny when i got it) as well as the eel, red coris, yellow tang, small niger trigger, couple of damsels and a pink skunk that are all doing well.
coral wise, i didnt lose anything right away, but some died over the next few weeks. the tank has really turned around since then and everything seems to be healthy and happy. i will post some pics soon...
