    Well my 20long has been up and good so have been adding a couple fish here and there well last night I picked up a baby tire track eel. Seemed to be doing OK, well today we couldnt find him. My son had to crawl under my desk to find him. He jumped out fell 30 inches crawled a least two feet and the went to the big lake in the sky. I am thinking my ant farm would have been cheaper.

    Well some people put their eel back into their tank after they jumped. Some of them had come back.

    My little guy was rock hard. He now sleeps with the fishes. Sad day.

    you can put screen over the top of your tank.....consider it a lesson learned. an ant farm would be cheaper but not as interesting

    I know but I had one in a 150 for years and no problem. Well I think I will just leave the tank a lone till my oscars get bigger then up grade to a 55-75. But in the mean time I will just sit and twittle my thumbs and wait for my 125 salt to cycle. I know go slow and let it grow.
