Tangerine Tiger Suicide

150EH · 06-09-2012, 05:06 AM

I got up today and walked in to the kitchen to find a dried up, dead TT shrimp on the middle of my nano lid, I have the lid cut to allow the driftwood to stick up through the top. I guess he climbed to the top of the driftwood and then did one of the spring moves and landed in the center.

Has anyone else had trouble with TT escaping the tank, I know Amano's will walk away from the tank sometimes?

I don't know if it was as much of a suicide as it came up the wood and got lost trying to get down maybe. If your tank didn't have anything sticking out of it and the water is 2" down the rim and they climb out, then you have a suicide. They may be an accidental death instead.

Did it leave a note?
