I got a call yesterday that one of my channa micropeltes jumped ship. It was found in the room about a week later. I got him and his sibling before the ban. They were about two inches when I got them. He was over two feet in length. There were weights and velcro on the hood of the tank. The only way he was able to escape "which is a total surprise," was where the filter intake was place. The back was taped, but I believe it came loose. All in all, they are my favorite type of fish. So much prsonality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope someday we will be privileged enough to see them in the pet trade again. WISHFUL THINKING.
