| My fish jumped Last night my overflow was making that gurgling noise and it was about bed time and I really didn't want to fool with it. Then I started thinking I better because sometimes I can hear it and it keeps me from sleeping. (tank is in the room next to my bedroom.) So I go and get my step stool, open the top, and get ready to fix it, in the dark mind you, and I see something orange on top off the eggcrate. OMG!!! that's my clown. I go to grab it to put it back in the tank and of course he/she all of a sudden bounces around. I freakin out trying to get it back in the little hole (I use to have a CLS) that it jumped out of. Finally I push it back in and the guy immediately goes to the bottom of the tank behind the rock work so I could not see him to make sure he was alright. Looking around with flashlights, disturbing all the other fish. Finally after 20 mins. of looking, he/she came back out with his mate and all was okay. Needless to say I will be getting some more eggcrate today. I put magazine over the holes last night so it would not happen again.  They "sleep" at the top of the tank right next to the overflow and I guess the noise was annoying him and he wanted to help me fix it. He made a jump for the overflow or something.  Well, thought I would share. I am so glad I decided to go ahead and fix the overflow.
