how many of you had a lawnmower blenny jump out?

[kwirky]

I got a lawnmower blenny a while back, and 2 days later it jumped out of my uncovered tank.

I'd like another one because I thought it was the coolest fish I've ever had, but I'd rather not cover the tank.

Any feedback?

i had one jump out and for a couple months i couldnt figureb out where it went turns out he landed inside a light bulb box i had beside the tank found him all dried up

Do you not want anything covering your tank? Or you just don't want a canopy ? I'm have eggcrate on top of my tank, it's black and looks nice IMO, it's also easy to get out of the way when need be and the fish can't get out. Just a thought.

my lawnmower jumped out, my bicolor jumped out, then I got smart and instead of just "talking" about putting egg crate on my tank I did it, and thankful that I did as my Midas likes to jump and ends up in the sump!

off topic...hey Chaloupa, what kind of clowns do you have in your avatar?

I've lost 2 lawnmower blennies that way.
