I'm at work on my phone. And my gf called and said my bowfin jumped ship. There was a glass lid on the tank and he wasn't big enough to push it. Or so I thought. 
that really bites.

wait I should add that there is about an inch maybe inch and a half gap from were my filter tubes and the glass meet. And after looking at where the gf said she found the fish. I would think it was possible for it to get out that way. But it would have def have to work at it since it's head was about and inch wide. So there was an opening there.protocl said:

Sorry to hear about your fishaay.
We had a Snowflake Moray Eel get into the bio chamber of an all-in-one SW tank once. It had to get into the intake and past a power head to get in there. To this day I have no idea how it got into the bio chamber without getting chopped up by the impeller..lol.

Yeah if I would have Known that thing could have fit I would have done something different. I mean it would've had to work to get out, sucks that it was succesful.Spyral said:
I honestly did really like that fish, i was looking at youtube and how they look when they get bigger, i saw people catching them on rod and reel. When they opened there mouth it was full of teeth, i mean i really wanted to see how it would grow. We'll see though I'm not sure what i'm going to do. Right now i have a flowerhorn the size of a quater in the tank just to have something in there.Ashley said:

I really do appreciate the offer especially since you did raise your jag from an egg. But I am growing out some dovii in my 100 gallon tank and will be using my 125 for a wolffish or similar. But I honestly appreciate such a generous offer. But thank you.

I was over at bobby's house from bobby's water world and we were talked about the day he shipped in snakeheads for research purposes and how at night with plexi glass lids on the tank the snakehead had jumped up and knocked the lid off and jumped out and started crawling across the floor. So he ended up buying some clamps for the lid and the fish still at night would slam against the lid and he would have to go out and check on the fish to see if they got out. So its very possible your bowfin did something like this and the lid had just slammed against the lid and jumped out and lid just fell back down.

Yeah a crazy situation altogether. Thanks for chiming in. You think it has to do with the lights? I normally leave my lights on till I get home. But I did notice that I hear splashing when the lights are out. But I thought it was eating/chasing the couple guppies I put in there.
