on saturday wqe had a bit of a changeabout in our tanks to make a few people happier...

the 3 Kuhli's were in the 15gal and although quite active never did anything 'that' off the wall...

Anyway, since their move they are out all the time watching us and playing with each other.

They have been hiding in the plants... 6 inches from the sand!

but to clentch it all - one of them decided he would jump out of the tank thins morning!

the tank has 2x 1inch gaps at eh back for cables and pipes etc to enter the hood. the holes are open to the water... and this was where he decided to jump from!

4foot drop to the floor! THANKFULLY my girlfriend was at home thismorning and was just coming into the office to watch the fish as he did it!

She worked up the guts to catch him and put him back :flex:

just 4 hours later and he's got all his colour back and is playing in the plants again.

Phew - close call - if we wern't in that would have been a dead 3" kuhli.

The holes are now blocked :D
 
i once had a khuli who jumped out and flopped about 20 feet down the hall :D but i got him any he got better. i dunno y they like to jump like that. :D
