Hi everyone,
Just when I though everything was going great....
My twenty gallon tank has an open top with the lighting hood mounted above it on legs. Apparently several of you have similar set ups as I read the posts about open topped tanks from a couple of days ago. Anyway, do any of you have problems with your non-plant inhabitants jumping out? After searching to find where some my shrimp could possibly be hiding, I was horrified to find out that two of them had somehow jumped out and were dried up and dead on the floor behind my tank.
Poor little fellas, what an awful way to go. Is this just a freak thing or should I put a glass top on my tank? Is it alright to do that with CO2 injection? Given how silly my clown loaches get at night I'm afraid that they may jump out too. Any thoughts?
