My Clown Committied Suicide

He just jumped out of the tank into a tray in the back and died. Seems like when the lights, with fan, auto shut-off or on he always went berserk. Anyone else have this problem?

Hate to hear that Sen.
Does any of your other fish act like that?If they do,you may have some stray voltage going into the tank.

It really could have been anything that startled him. Fish are pretty easy to startle. Sorry about your loss. Even fish that are not known to be jumpers do it from time to time.

I put this on some Nano tank forum and people said this common with clowns in a BC29.

Re: My Clown Committied Suicide

He consistently would go berserk just as the lights and fan turned off.
