He commited SUICIDE

[sagent3000]

my six line JUMPED out the tank. i was wondering why i hadn't seen him in a while but i figured that he was hiding in the rocks some where. i looked at the base of the tank and there he was all shriveled up like a prune

sorry. Hard enough to keep everything happy without them jumping out on their own!

sorry for your loss, sarg.

That sucks. Look closely at the pictures of my tank and you can see that I have it "jumper-proof". When you come over I will show you what I mean so that you will never loose a fish over the top or over and into the overflows.
The material that I use is Gutter Guard from Home Depot or Lowes. It is plastic mesh and will keep fish and critters in the tank/display area.
Again sorry that you lost your SixLine.

what else can i use to eat bristle worms? i heard an arrow crab do they work? or should i just wait and when i put the new tank up get nother sixline. i was starting to like him too. he added nice color to the tank i was going to get some of the toher wrasses. i just bought a clam today and need the wrasse that eats the worms that bother clams

Sorry for your loss man....that is one of my favorite fish. I say figure out a way to jump proof it and get another one.

JGoal55,
Here is a picture of the back of my tank. I bought some really cheap plastic Gutter Guard at HomeDepot or Lowes. It is black and it comes in a roll. Use zip ties (also called plastic electrical ties) to put multiple pieces together to form a barrier to prevent any fish from escaping. I used a staple gun to attach the edges of the plastic netting/material to the wooden hood.

You cannot see this in the picture but I also have the Gutter Guard material covering over the two overflows. This keeps snails and fish from getting into the overflows.
This works great and I never lost a fish to jumping ever!

THANKS....pretty cool....I guessed I missed the part where you said you had a canopy. It totally makes sense to block out the back of the canopy and I will definitely do that come canopy time......I thought that you didnt have a canopy and so I was wondering how you attached the gutter guard to the actual tank without it looking bad or without blocking light.

Thanks again for th pic....thats a really easy and cheap solution to suicide fish. Much cheaper than paying for their therapy and/or replacement.
