It's official. I love this **** fish as much as my kids, dogs, cat. Same level. Max was sleeping and he got startled awake somehow (quiet room , which is probably why my reaction was even crazier). He does this a lot so I just watched him do his speed swim freak out flopping thing....until he flopped right out of the 1.25inch by 5 inch opening in the back of the hood. The stand this tank is on is sold wood so I'm talking at least 750 pounds right up against the wall. I'm up, I'm screaming for my husband, tears flying, can't even speak calmly. He thought my Mom died or I'd broken my back or something. Luckily I peeked behind the one corner I can see behind. There he was, not moving and covered in dust and cat hair. I freaked and tossed him in the tank. Crap is floating everywhere, so had to vac all that out. Did a big water change and added stress zyme. He's banged up but swimming around normally within a few minutes. Anything else I need to do? Temp is at 80. Husband is bringing me egg crates to patch the holes. Good grief...
