Clownfish overflow death

[Sstadler]

Hello, I recently came home from work to find my juvenile clownfish had become friends with the filter screen on the back of my Eshopps overflow. How is this possible? It doesn’t seem possible that he could’ve fit through the holes in the over flow without some serious effort, sooo, jumping to his death?

I lost my juvi male also, he was a jumper. Sorry for the loss.

Remove him, and the emergency can probably be rectified without carbon or water-change. Sounds like you caught it in plenty of time.
