These triggers will jump.
Found mine on the tank bracing yesterday morning.
Dead!:eek:
Must have happened early the previous evening, so unfortunately it took the porcelain express back to the Indian ocean.

Tank has a full canopy, would have hoped a fish landing on the bracing would rattle its way back into the water, but it was not too be.

Good excuse to build a bigger FOWLR system!:blush: and upgrade to a clown trigger

Hmm mine did this a few times as well...but tended to land on the tank bracing and plop back into the tank...just luck I guess. He is no longer with me, but thats because he decided digging was his passion in life. :)

Why do you want what you can't have, Yuri? Surely this is a recipe for misery? ;)

I think it is the same as a Ferrari every man wants one but only a small amount of men can buy it
And it looks good like a ferrari ;)
 
My Niger was the same. Had an affinity with nori, then used my zoas as a starter before feasting on my sand sifting blenny.... So after 3 weeks of trying to trap him I sumped him. 3 days later he committed suicide by doing a dive out the water. The sump is 500 high and the water level 250.
 
Sorry to hear about niger, too many triggers are dying these days :( ,i have made screens above my tank as all fish can and will jump.
