Fish

[Garth]

hey guy,s i got a fish tank, and my fish have issues

the little bastards keep jumping out of the tank on me, anyone know why? i put a cover over them the other day, and now instead of jumping out of the tank, they are knocking them selfs out on the glass lid, what's going on? are they just possesed or something? or do i have some seroius issues

[stretch]

What about if you tie some sinkers to their tails so they can't swim upwards.

Sorry Garth.

[PIMPIN]

lol stretch

do you have your tank filled up too much? I remember having a problem like that a long while ago - I'd come home and fish would be on the carpet...

if you don't then maybe they're just possessed and in that case exorcise them

[jafo]

fish normally jump out of fishtanks and bowls cause there aint enuf oxygen in the water try putting an air pump in the tank

[jafo]

now if you said you had a fish tank in the car i could understand wouldnt you shit if you had a 3 sec memory and every 3 sec you see somthing moving really fast past your eyes i'd wanna get out too

and if you did have it in the car you would definatley have issues to deal with lol

More info required. How big is your tank, how many fish, what sort of fish, what filters do you have, do you have an air pump, what do you feed them, etc etc.

I've got a tank myself, no expert but i might be able to help.

PS- how's the rattle in the VN?

there actually is a commy ute with a fish tank in it with real life fish in it.. no bull shit i seen it in a street commodores mag or street machine where they have a big thing on summer nats

Chalee could be right about Nemo, but I had the same problem yet it was only when my fish were upstairs rather than downstairs.

Weird hey!

I had tropical fish years ago. Came home from work one day to discover the water heater had malfunctioned and the fish were dead.

I went and got a serving of chips to go with them!

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA Piss Funny!!!! That has made the workday worthwhile!!!

ok guy's and charlee,

it's a 5ft fish tank, 5ft long, 3ft high, and 3 ft wide, holds a shit tin of water, as for the type of fish, i got 5 fish all up, little guppies, im trying to solve the problem of fish jumping out before i go and spend some big cash on tropcal fish, it's not a tropical tank yet, still havnt put in the heater, as for the filter, it's what the fish guy sold me, it cost like $200 so im hoping it's the right type,

[jafo]

nice size tank
the fiilter is pumping air aswell as cleaning the water right if so is it sending enough oxygen thru the tank with a tank that size you should have a least three spots where the air is pumped into the water usually one each end and one in the middle
as you say you have guppies maybee there is something scaring them like say your just out the shower and you walk past the tank lol couldnt resist that sorry
i dont know alot about fish but the thing i did hear about them is the oxygen levels have to be right and the water clarity has to be spot on aswell other than that i have no idea why they do it

no really mabye the water has the wrong PH or sumthing.

You don't have a box of extra-absorbant tampons sitting above the tank like in the TV ad with the stressed out fish have you?

Seroiusly though, it doesn't sound to me as there is any sort of problem that would be making the fish jump out, more than likely it's just the nature of the fish.

Maybe if they bash their heads on it for long enough it'll knock some sense into them .

Still pisses ya of but, dopey fish

[dragrat]

SUSHI?
