Oh yeah, this tank is closed tight! I have an African Butterfly fish that decided to do his own stunts (which is the best way) and found him on the floor. After that, i made sure that tank was sealed closed. Another little guy in there that acts like he has a death wish is my ropefish. I have a feeling if the top wasnt sealed he would have been found DOF.

Rope fish are awesome fish, always liked them... but they are terrible about jumpingComment

Very cool Mormyrid, I think seeing that video of the Dolphin Mormyrids in Malawi hunting cichlids at night forever changed my perception of that family....In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Yeah... Mine liked to be at the top of the tank at night and I figure when the light came on it startled him and pop.. out the tank he went... really sucked, he was my favorite fish at the time.Comment

Mormyrids are notoriously sensitive to water parameters and are a great living barometer for water quality in your tanks. They are even used by Germans in their water plants. They are one of the only fish that have been recorded as 'playing' when a small ball of aluminum foil was introduced to their tanks and are observed chasing it and what appears to be playfulness. Here is that video I was referring to, not sure why I have never seen any of these in a monster tank as they would be very cool as far as huge predators go...

Found it funny they are know to the locals as "those that cannot drink beer".65G African Tank (1 Ropefish, 1 Senegal Bichir, 3 Spotted Climbing Pearch, 2 Black Calvus "Zebra", 1 Featherfin Cat, African Knife, 2 Upside down Cats and an African Butterfly Fish.
