one lucky fish

[containerman1]

Well I received some great corals from Reef works today and while I opened the box and I moved the cover off my tank to get a few cups of tank water to mix my coral rx pro and I heard this flicking sound and I looked around the tank and I saw my equsite wrasse in a plastic pail next to my tank. I grabbed him and put him back in the tank and he moved a little slow for a minute but he's back to normal. My first jumper :wow2: dumb wrasse

silly fish.......I'm always wondering why they want to jump out of their environment into the air in the first place? I understand scared.....go hide in the sand or something!

Agree 110% we make their homes like plush condos and feed them the best and then he wants to take a leap of death.
He is always happy and in front of the tank watching me and begging for attention. I think he wanted to jump out and play.

You should've pet him and played with him for a few minutes. He must be very attached to you, wanting your attention that badly! LOL

Peer pressure. The other fish triple-dog-dared him.

My only jumper was my female clown who I truly believe jumped 3x in attempts to kill me.

I did scratch his belly a little before I put him back just hope he doesn't think every time he jumps he gets his belly scratched:unsure:

Mine got tossed back in the tank with a bunch of dog hair and a few dust bunnies attached. The other fish ridiculed her for days.

That's funny now that you mention it I noticed him being a little
Dirty and all the other fish took off when I put him
Back in . Now I guess he feels like the special one since he's seen the other side
Outside

Was it your Wrasse? He probably wanted a Shower:crazy:

wow good luck!!!! I was cleaning the back chamber of my biocube a few months ago and just as I was taking out my mediabasket I saw my wrasse just sitting in the middle chamber, I have no clue how long he was there but lets just say if I didnt see him he probably wouldnt have made it.

Its funny how things like that happen

Long time ago, when I had my freshwater set-up, I had an Oscar cichlid, who use to jump to catch the food from my fingers, every single time when I was going to feed him, he wasn't hungry, (I guess) but I never want to overfeed him, it was funny that every time they see you trough the glass seems like they just want to jump at you!
