rtg update : dead

[bob351]

well here is my rtg this was my first rtg, i got this guy a few months back from gold ocean and posted a pic of his scales about a week ago well i was really happy since this was probably the most successful fish i had kept as far as colour he was a beautiful fish he grew about 3-4 inches since i got him and all his scales developed the gold colour and the purple base and today i came home to feed him to find him in the back of my tank, he took the glass lid with him to the back also obviously he is banged up but he was truly a nice fish

That really sucks It's always painful to lose a cherished pet. I wish you the best of luck with your new one.

I have heard of people using floating plants to help prevent this. I might look for some hornwort. As long as it doesn't clog my filters.

Sorry to hear about you lost. RIP.

Maybe try using a different material cover? Like custom made polycarbonate?

 

[bob351]

for my lid im going to go with acrylic and weigh it down like a bitch, and i wonder if a small layer of blue styrofoam would help if the aro jumps and the aro would be less damaged.

 

[Aqua Fanatics]

Hum. How does Styrofoam react to condensation or water? In time, wouldn't the water break up the Styrofoam? Correct me if I am wrong.
