	Tight Lid
Garofoli Big Fish Posts: 337 Kudos: 143 Votes: 27 Registered: 12-Apr-2006	Today I found my Dojo Loach dead on the ground next to my tank. My lid is very tight, I have no clue how he got out. I have been hunting for this for like 3 weeks. I have had him for like 2 weeks. At first i thought it was a leaf, then mouse crap then i got closer and i saw it was my dried out Dojo Loach, He was kinda wet on the bottom (not Brown). Just felt like sharing... Chris

I've found that there are a lot of fish that can find even the smallest opening in the tank lids and get out. Sometimes they seem to be much smaller than the fish that squeeze out, so you really need to close them up. Jim Water, taken in moderation, cannot hurt anybody. -- Mark Twain

Truth doesn't always win friends but it influences them
