This goofball took a long walk off a short pier. I recently moved a rack of 5.5 gallon aquariums that I emptied out and cleaned up to sell. This sad fella was behind it. He or she is a Lepidiolamprologus sp. 'meeli kipili' from Namansi in Lake Tanganyika. I always try to warn people that Lepidiolamprologus are leapers and will find their way out of any openings. The tank this fish jumped from had only a small opening for an airline (maybe 2" by .5"), but this individual managed to find it and make the worst possible use of it.
I almost have to laugh because this photo reminds me of one of those pictures of a specimen that has been collected for scientific study and is all colorless and nearly unrecognizable. This fish actually has more color left in it than those specimens typically do.
