well i just found my dog playing with one of my B. striata. He was a little crispy so he must have jumped out during the night.I now have 4 instead of 5. Good thing bought more then i first wanted too.

I don't know how he got out, I hav a mesh screen covering all of the top except for a little space by the filter. I usually cover the top with a towel before i got to bed as a precaution incase someone jumps but i forgot yesterday.This was the first time i had a fish commit fishy suicide.

Striata are escape artists. I found out the same way you did. Sorry about your fish.

I bet it tried to jump previous times too but never got anywhere because of the towel. Sorry about that though.

oh well. Atleast i still have 4 left. I'm going to be moving them over to their permenant home tomorrow where they can't jump out of.

Good news though, I finally got the clown pleco they are sharing a q tank with to eat. It has been 3 weeks and i was getting worried since he hasn't moved since i put them in there. I guess he is ready to move to his new house also
