Earlier this evening I found my sixline lying totally dried-up next to the tank. I don't know how long he'd been there, but he was totally beyond any hope of still being alive.

So...I've never really heard of sixlines being jumpers, but I guess anything's possible. I think the maroon clown *could* have chased him out, but I've never seen her show much aggression and there are all kinds of places the sixline could have gone without her being able to follow.

I'm a little hesitant to get another if this is something I should have expected. Don't want to cover the tank and lose evaporation, and eggcrate reflects the halides like crazy. Are these fish jumpers, or was this probably just an unfortunate event?
