I was doing water change and after i finished i putt the hood/cover back on top of the tank.
I turned around to pick up the bucket and some other things.
Then i heard a big bang...my heart stopped...i thought my tank was going to brake or something.
I didn't know what was that bang..but then it happend later aswell..but this time i saw it.
It was my hoplo catfish..he was at the bottom and then suddenly he speeds up and go against the curent/waterflow..jumps and hits the cover.He only did that twice..think he learned after that
Anybody else who has a story that made you jump



I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

I didnt' jump...but that was because I was just too exhausted....
Last summer whetu had stopped by my house on her tour....we had gone together to pick up my Prius from the dealership (it wasnt' supposed to arrive for another day or so) and drive to new york to visit tim (fallout)....so instead of napping we did that..then drove up to visit him...I drove back down and headed straight back into work (I think I'd had had 4 hours sleep in 3 days and 20+ hours of driving :%))....

I was about 20 minutes away from work when a co-worker calls me up to tell me that the larger office tank is leaking.
!
There was no place to stop and get one, nothing to do but just get into work and find some way of dealing with it (I was already exhausted).
After interrogating people as to if anyone had moved the tank or pushed it or anything to weaken the seals and since there was no obvious leak I finally figured it out...some water had been trapped on the background and started to spill along the rim of the tank between the tank and the stand...nothing leaking nothing broken :%).
