SO I know it was only a matter of time...and Saturday night was it. My black tiger Oscar threw himself overboard & out of my tank. I wasn't home, but my mom heard him flopping around at 3 am. Luckily, she was sleeping downstairs or else she wouldn't have even heard him.
He seems fine, I added some water conditioner that adds to the slime coat as soon as I got home. He ate, but he has A LOT of scales missing...
stupid fish...always something with this one...

Poor thing. I'm glad he's eating and hopefully he'll heal pretty quick.

nater

Good to hear he didn't die. I hope be bounces back quick for you.

Oh, hope he's OK. I was doing a water change in one of my tanks a couple of weeks back, and a baby guppy went for a leap of faith. Trying to get a teeny baby back off the floor was interesting...
Glad he ate something, sending wishes for a speedy recovery!!

namehater

not so much what i was thinking...

hope he makes it out alright.

Mine would attempt to do that when it was feeding time....only had one land on the carpet and I learned LOL ...not fun picking up a 12inch fish ....but with some extra stress coat+ and a few extra water change, he will be good as new...but he will try it again if he has the chance ...

Oh no Amanda, how scary! Do you have a hood or lid on the tank?
Hope he recovers quickly.

Shawnie

with oscars, hoods wont matter if you arent quicker than the oscar LOL

Tony G.

wow... i hope none of my fish decide to take the leap. Hope he's alright...

Amanda

Yeah....they're strong & quick buggers

Nick Goody

Brute's done it before, and still trys it everytime I feed him. You'd think he'd do it once and think, hang on, that was no fun..............

Shawnie

they have a one track mind...and its called FOOOOOOOOOOD LOL ...they dont ever learn..at least mine never did in the 8 years ...but I learned after the 1 and only time!
ps..I love brute...have I told you that before ?

Oh Amanda how scary! I am so glad that he's okay. I am so afraid of Gulliver doing that. He has started banging his head on the hood when he's hungry and wants food.
