My midas blenny jumped out after I performed a water change. I didn't notice for quite some time and when I saw him I thought he was dead. Then when I went to pick him up he started moving so I put him back in. He survived for months and I thought he learned his lesson but one day I came back home and found him on the floor dried up....
Somewhat irrelevant, but funny story. I have fresh water tanks as well and one of my favorite creatures are crayfish. I purchased a red small one one day and put him in the tank and a couple of days later I lost him. Never found him or his carcass. One day over six months later, I was cleaning my washer/dryer room and there he was, behind the dryer all dried up, a mummy. That room is like 30 feet from the tank across the living room and dining room so he definitely went for a walk, poor guy!
