So I wake this morning, I pop some waffles into the toaster. While I'm waiting for my waffles to finish I pulled some brine shrimp food out of the freezer to go feed my fish. The light to the aquarium was turned off, not really wanting to turn it on I just toss the food in, the second i did that and went to shut the lid the biggest oscar of the bunch does his best impression of free willy out of the aquarium onto the floor *BOUNCINGS !!!!! I hurried up and grabbed my net, picked him up real quick and put him back in the tank. He sat there in shock for about 5 seconds then started eating like nothing ever happened!!! It was crazy, first time thats ever happened to me, although I can't say I'm suprised they go after the food like idiots. Anyone have anything similar happen to them?? *GOLDFISH*
One of my Oscar's tried to commit suicide this morning...

my betta did that for the longest time until i put a lid on his home... i was always so worried i wouldnt catch him doing it... one time i was watching my talk shows and i heard him jump out, and i looked and his bowl was empty so i began to panic because i couldn't find him, i finnaly found him behind a picture frame.. hes still alive to this day!
No worries Dubster, oscars are notorious jumpers, hehe. At the fish store I used to work at we had one we nicknamed "Little S**t" because he'd tank-hop 4-5 tanks over to either side and feast on the poor fishies that lived within. Also about once a week we'd hear a nice wet fishy plop and sure enough, he'd be on the floor looking rather perplexed. Even with lids on the tanks he'd find a way to jump out.
. fish can survive some surpising things, and act like nothings happened.
