Default Re: has anyone ever lost a fish?

its funny, you brought up your fish missing and i havent had a fish pull a "jumper" in a while, this new mother blenny i got on sunday is nuts. 1st it decides to jump into the #1 chamber of my cube..i left him in there for a day, i fished him out yesterday, no problem...this morning i felt the need to look at my tank at 6am before i left for work and i notice its missing so i flip open the back and there it is, but this time its in the #2 skimmer chamber probably slowly suffocating...here i am in my work close jumping on the couch trying to coax it out over the edge back into the tank...he flip/flopped and back in the tank it went. i called my son at home this morning and its missing again, right back into the skimmer...i had to have my wife "fish" it out again which took forever because she hates fish. hopefully it stays out of the back of the tank until i am able to stick some gutter guard on the back wall to prevent any more jumps. wish me luck.
