    Well, after a three month battle with Marine Velvet and Cysts on her mouth, my 5 year old Black and White Ocellaris Clown Fish dicided last night would be a good night to jump out of the aquarium...

    I am very sad over this, and I'm not sure if it was the stress of health problems that lead her to commit suicide, but I urge everyone to use some type of top for their aquariums : (

    SFYL :( Hopefully others see this and learn from it. Even though they may be in the tank for years, at some point it seems Clowns will jump for whatever reason. Keep your tanks covered!

    Sorry for the loss of "Big Bertha".

    I like the cover on the tank not only for this reason but my cat would go fishing for dinner if I did not ::)
