I used to have 2 beta fish befor i got my 75 gal. and they were jsut in seprate bowls. One was my fish, Richardo. and the other was my brother's, Filipe.

Since it would soemtimes get too cold where we usually put them, I set Richardo near the window sill and left Filipe on the counter below.When i woke up that morning, i was brushing my teeth at the near by sink and the water must have gotten little too warm for Richardo, and so he jumped out of the tank, and landed right in Filipe's tank! Glad i was there to witness it, and also so that Richardo and Filipe didnt get hurt!

it was quite a knee slapper!

This isn't about my fish, but something i saw at a LFS.

My LFS store has a large satlwater pond in the center of the fish room, about 1000 gallons. In the tank are sharks and two Tesseleta Eels. When I look into the water, the eel is rolling around. I notice that the eel is attacking one of the sharks in the tank. It grabbed the Shark in the side of its hide, gill area, with its fierce jaws. It swam towards the center of the pond, where rocks are located. The workers at the store did all they could to get the shark out of its jaws. But it was too late, the eel attempted to swallow the shark whole, but the tail stuck out, so the shark was pulled out, and he didn't make it. Sad, but interesting story.

about two weeks ago I went shopping for one last fish for my 42 gal...I was wondering around the store looking at different fish when all of a sudden....

SPLAT...I felt something wet on my toes (i was wearing sandles) so I looked down...there was this huge monster of a fish laying there flopping at my feet on the floor...he had jumped out of the tank on the top row which is about 6-7 off the floor....I got the clerks attention and the fish was very quickly put back into his home, but the funny part is that he almost landed in my purse, he bouced off the side of it before he hit the floor...maybe it broke his fall and I hope he suffered no lasting damage from the sky dive....

and just so you know I thought about buying taht one, maybe him jumping out was a sign or somethign but the guy at the store refused to sell him to me...He asked how big my tank was...I told him and he said that fish would get to big and I could not buy him.....

This place has now become one of my favorite stores to buy fish from because I know they actually care about the fish....it's not just another sale to them...that is priceless....

glad he missed my purse....would hate to be accused of shoplifting a fish,

ps
I got a yellow severum instead...

Okay I was at the Ga. aquarium in the south American f/w section and your standing under a tank that`s on the ceiling. All predator type fish in these tanks. Standing there checking out the fish which most about 3 to 4 feet long and tring to block out what the workers were screaming about the fish. All of a sudden you could here a loud bumping noise everyone looks up to see a fish killing the mess out of another one .Both were about the same size but different types of fish. The workers went crazy and were trying to explaining what was happening . Next thing you know the winner tries to swallow the loser whole, but was unable to do it after many min. So he decides to carry this huge fish around with him for the rest of the day. this was a sight to be seen.
