Looks like I will never know what really happened.
But then that is part of the risk we pay for having a hobby like this.
I really wanted one of these, but don't think I will try a third.
I'm on my 3d now......and I am happy that I took the chance again....they are so much fun, and so interactive. My first one carpet surfed...second one we put in we had covered the tank so he couldn't jump out and then one day he was just gone...never found him on the floor, overflow or sump...so this one is in my RSM which of course is completely covered and he is doing very very well. I got him from J&L and am very happy I took that "final" chance! Sorry to hear about your 2 losses.

I had one of these on hold at JL, it was the last one of their previous shipment and it jumped out of their tank the night before I went to pick it up.
I took it as a sign, as my 72 is open top all the way.

I am in full agreeance with you man....lol

This fish is too sexy to come to such an end.
I really hope you figure out what was happening so that you can get another one, it's obviously a fish you liked and cared for.
