So my 11 maybe 12" parachromis manganese smashed my decorative ship into pieces! He got stuck in it and with a mighty kick he went straight threw it. So im pretty pissed that ship wasnt cheap. Ive seen and hear him move around large river rocks in the tank its pretty impressive.. so im just wondering what stories use have of ******* fish breaking your stuff. Could a big jag bust a 6ft with 10 +mm glass

It's definitely time to remove all objects out of the tank. Also I'd try and get a mate for it. As far as breaking the tank, i don't think that fish alone could do it, but it definitely can if it push or rather "kicked" an object into the glass.

Seems you have one smart fish. I can understand his frustration, owning an aquarium large enough to house a pair of jags and then putting a shipwreck in...... lol. I would smash it too but in all seriousness the strength some species have is shocking.
