Re:SAEs w/o a cover
In the Aquatic Plants Digest #635, Steve mentioned that he had set his
100 gal. aquarium up as an opened-top tank, and then later mentioned
he had obtained some SAEs. SAEs are jumpers. Very good, very quick,
jumpers. As I mentioned in previous posts, the only adult SAEs that I
have lost has been from jumping.
If you want an open-top tank, add a collar of some type, at least 6
inches high.
I have a shelf with 5 - 10 gal tanks, that are open-top but enclosed
in such a way that a jumping fish cannot land anywhere but back in the
water. When the SAEs are in these tanks, it is quite amusing to
observe the tank hoping. Any two times you look at the tanks more than
an hour apart, the SAEs had redistributed themselves.
Hope this helps.
