Jumper!

[MrRyanT]

I'm sure many of you remember my Christmas Tree Wrasse that was given to me by Dave at Kermit's Reef. I found the poor guy on my floor last night when I got home from work. RIP. Here's a pic of the guy affectionately known as Bubba:

That sux, I know the feeling. I have had a couple of jumpers in the last few months. After not having any for several years.

With a heavy heart, I recall my first experiences, dating back to my fresh water days in the 70's (Hard to believe, I know, but "Yes", I AM that old!)

It was an African Frog. Covered in Dog hair and crispy from days of exposure, before being found.

You have my sympathies.

 

[MrRyanT]

Yeah, it really sucks. The entire thing is covered except for just a couple small openings in the rear. Guess he hit one just right.

Yeah, they do that. My Anthias ventralis are also jumpers, and THAT would be a real bitc.....alrighty then!

My 4 year old female clown "took the leap" a couple of months ago. I was unable to reach her behind the tank. My 6yo twin nieces are here for the weekend and drug her poor, still orange and white , however quite crunchy body from behind the tank. All I heard from them was "EWWW YUCKY" and lots of screams. Perhaps we should have hot glued her to one of the mini pumpkins we painted last night. Now that would have been scary!!! LOL

 

[MrRyanT]

Yeah, would've been scary. I didn't have to worry at all about getting mine from behind the tank as we have 2 cats and a dog here. They had it out before we got home.
