one of my baby O's jumped out of the tank while I was at work !! My husband fed them before he left home but forgot to close the lid completely !! Unfortunately he had already passed by the time i got home !! Now my other O is pale---however i see his color coming back slowly. He needs a new buddy--he seems so lonely !!

Oh Honey, I am so sorry! I know this sucks, but this is a fairly common occurrence.

i been there before

gotto keep that tank locked!Small O's tend to jump for food and take a free fall.

Sorry for your loss.
Any plans on a new one?
I got my O a buddy ,a Vieja synspillum,cuz he seemed lonely after I killed his buddy the sunfish, but they just can't stand eachother...
