Sorry to hear that. They are deffinately good at getting into or should I say out of small places. Go to lowes or hd and get a plastic mesh called gutter guard its sold in a roll. Its about 6" wide and the roll is probably 12' long or so. Its pretty cheep too maybe $10 at most. Cover the back opening of the canopy with that. The output of your hobs should flow right through it. Its what I put on the back of my canopy. That stopped them from being on the floor. My other issue was my overflows. For those I made acrylic lids. I had a couple ropes go for a ride down the overflows when I first got them, luckily they healed from the minor injuries they recieved. They are sneaky but not unmanageable. It does take a little more precaution then say a cichlid....lol.And definitely make sure you have as few holes in the lid as possible because they are escape artists and I found one up the hard way it's a sad day for me guys I lost a rope go can I make sure the other two don't escape? I have twin hob filters so I have to have openings in the canopy
