Man, I just entered the room, when suddenly one of my tank lids broke
and the light fell in!!! My little oscar is so lucky he was fast
enough to swim away from the guilotine (spelling?) that was the glass
and the electrocution that was looming... Lucky I cut the power to the
light before it could sink far enough to zap him... I guess his name
isn't Buzz for nothing...
So he's ok, but wow is he freaked out at the moment, I guess since I
walked into the room right as it happened, he thinks I did it, now he's
hiding from me :(

That's kinda like hitting a parkway bird with a car..... they seem to come
so close before they take off, but in reality it's almost impossible.

Talking of death-defying fish, one of my little shell dwellers swam into the
canister filter outlet when the pump was turned off last night, and I didn't
notice. When I turned it back on her swimming, combined with the water
pressure, meant she was fired across the tank faster than I have ever seen a
fish move before into the far side of the tank. I was concerned but the fish
was completely unfazed. She was still chewing on a mouthfull of food :)

haha! I guess I'm lucky since my track record with fish is not that
great. This one is going to grow up huge though - at least i want him
too, he'd better not die dammit!

You haven't seen fun until you've seen a Buttikoferi play tug-o-war with
a plugged in heater AFTER he breaks it open against the side of the tank.
