flying fish !

i have a half hexagon tank and every other panel has a 1" gap at the top, the water is approx. 1" below that. I have found a guppy and a silver shark on the floor is this possible.......... im baffled.

I had this happen to me when I had a 30 gallon and had guppies in there. Do you have air tubes in the back of your tank? I did and They used to love to ride the air bubbles up to the top of the tank and then dash off just before they got to the top. I lost 3 guppies that way. found them on the floor all dried out. I felt so bad. What I eneded up doing is putting some plastic on the back to cover up the open areas. I saw that it also stopped the water from evaporating as quickly as it used to.

Anyway, that is my story. My solution is to put something over the open areas. I didn't have any more flying fish after that.

Those are some pretty courageous fish to jump out of one inch wide spaces.

crabs and crayfish like to climb out too

Also some pretty accurate fish. But to answer your question, Yes it is possible.

crayfish i think are determined to crawl out because everyone i had seemed to know home was in the backyard
