My Algae blenny jumped out!

[Cheech]

I got a call from home, my algae blenny was found on the floor, all dried up... :(


Of all the fish I have in the tank, I really didn't think the algae blenny would have jumped out... It is too bad ...

now, I'm thinking of getting another one. Should I be worried about it jumping out again, or do you think it should be fine? I don't want to add a top to the tank because I need the most air circulation to reduce heat from the lights....

Thanks for any help... :)

Weird--wonder if someone chased it out?

Use stretched nylon to cover the gaps. This will still allow the water circulation, but prevents escape. Pretty cheap and easy to setup, too.
