I had a betta for a year and while i was in school I went a while without cleaning his cage and he got fin and tail rot because the plastic betta bowl got moldy. I gave him some medicine and my mother bought him a twenty gallon tank before we found out that might stress him out then we bought a glass bowl. About a month and a half ago I went to my cousins in wisconsin and my mom was fish sitting. She called saying that she couldnt find him. When I came home I looked, he wasnt in the bowl, he was all dried up by my closet. Does anyone know why he may have jumped out of the bowl??? IP: Logged |

It's possible that the ammonia level got too high. When the ammonia level gets high it burns their skin. IP: Logged |

rhomba, sharks are just naturally jumpers even when tank conditions are good. Something else I've always found interesting about newts. When you have a newt climb out of the tank, go straight to the refrigerator. Don't ask me why, but when a newt climbs out for some reason they always get under the refrigerator. IP: Logged |
