One day I had a lot of friends over for a football game, and one of them left the hood open on my tank. Well later in the game someone noticed a "snake" slithering across the floor. Of corse it was my 13" long ropefish. It had jumped out of my tank, fell ~3.5' to the hardwood floor, and slithered ~5' away from the tank. I quickly scooped him back up and into the tank and he has been doing fine ever since.

Anyone elces ropefish done crazy things like this?

I used to have 2 rope fish. Once one was out of the tank for a few hours, put him back in had him for a few years. Then last week one managed to find a way out of the tank and unfortunately didn't make it.
