Oh man so sorry to see this

Just so you don't feel alone we also just 5 days ago lost a clown we have had for 5 years....I say lost but I really did just disappear. Not behind the tank, not in the sump, not in the overflow...

So sorry for your loss @Fishy65

Its part of the hobby unfortunately. Sorry to hear of your loss too. I only had mine a few months but Morticia will be missed... her boyfriend Gomez is gonna be sad...
How do people with rimless tanks do it? I'm getting ready to go from this 40B with a rim to a rimless 55... I dont like the sight of the netting but I really don't want to lose anymore fish...

Sorry about your loss.

The net is about you're only option, besides a fully enclosed canopy. There are some options out there for the screen tops, just kind of depends on what you want to spend.

Lol, no... I have a pair of clowns (including a gladiator) from Frank in one tank, and just this single in another. Will just be looking for 1... they are open for the licking @Erin O
