Stupid Snakeheads

[Euge]

I am SO ****** OFF! I just got a Rainbow snakehead, put it in my tank it was all good. Got a sheet of plastic to cover up most of the surface except for the 2 cm by 2 cm gap where the filter hose runs into the tank. I didn't think that the snakehead could get out sucha small hole so i was like **** it. On my computer lookin up what to do abt ick, on the net for a couple hours go check on my SH and the ****** is all dried up under my lights.

I'm gonna go get another one tmr. Luckily where i'm from they're only abt 20 bux US. so not too bad.

A strip of aluminum foil and duct tape will fix that gash.

sh jumping out of water = hunting for food like flies or spiders sticking near your tank
sh jumping out of tank = they don't like your tank (or water)

Not really. I have kept a few of these rainbows together before.

Some of them jumps while others don't. I can hear them hitting the tank cover at night. The possibility of them jumping can be reduced by having more hiding place so that they feel more secure. But to stop them from jumping out completely, you have to cover all the gaps.
