Sad Day

James · 02-05-2004, 06:45 PM

Today I returned home from work only to find that my orange spotted sleeper gobey had leaped out of the tank

It was my fault, I had left the top of the tank open.
I had him for about a year. I had named him "Splashy" becouse at night, when all the lights were out, he would splash around the surface of the water.
He was my favorite fish, never messed with the other fish in the tank, keep my live sand turned, and provided many hours of entertainment for my cat. Just a great fish..

God speed Splashy

Loosing fish this way is as hard as it gets I think. I've had 2 yellow coris wrasses jump and with one of these coris wrasse's I found it and was able to put it back in the tank only to find it had jumped later.

So sorry James and Splashy.
