how many of your fish have actually bounced?

[Sophie"s mom]

just curious how common it is when people don't have lids that their fish leap out of the tanks

I have a mesh screen lid and my firefish goby managed to fit thru one of the mesh squares to go carpet surfing!

For me, I lost a diamond goby once, as that's typical for them.

The only other one was a particular lawnmower blenny. When it came in the mail I thought, "that's the biggest lawnmower blenny I've ever seen." It was caught too late in life, and could not be caged. It was a psycho. LMB #2 after it did just fine for several years, eventually dying of old age.

I was really, really lucky. Zero with my 90 over several years.

I lost more fish that way than Star Kist Tuna.
