: ( hate to see it, my 13" Oscar did this from a hospital tank some months back, busted the lid, she got better and appears to have thought this 40g tank aint happening.

Oh no! Very sad. Did you try sticking him back in water and moving back and forth? I have actually revived a fish or two that way, so I always try, even if they are crispy. Just to be sure.

you do know there is no way you going to get $75.00 for him now?

That sucks to loose a 9" ornate that way! All bichirs come to the surface for air. My friend lost two different small bichirs through small openings cut in the plastic for heaters and hob filters. The first time I thought it was bad luck after the 2nd time I knew to tape up all holes on the lids of bichir tanks. There has been 1 or 2 other people on this forum that lost their bichirs to the floor.
