My Valentini jumped out of a tiny crack in the back of my tank. He was out of the water for 8-10 mins. before we found him. I put him back in the water and he lived for a week then died. I miss him. He had the best personality. I will get another one someday.

This is my first post, and I am glad to be here! I hope I can learn a lot during my stay!!! I have 2 tomato clowns in one tank. They were not a pair when I got them. I bought one for my 55 gallon tank and my dog trainer tried to start a saltwater tank and couldnt keep up with it so he gave me...
