Oscars are notorious for this type of behavior. They will jump out of the tank, destroy the heaters, and generally make a mess of the tank. All you can do is make sure that you have a good quality lid that is SECURELY fastened. Good luck, and hope you do not have to witness any more accidental suicides.

It was Suicide. I had 2 the size of dinner plates in a tank. Had a glass lid with light on top. They were so big that they knocked the lid open and ended up on the floor, and the lid closed shut again. The next morning we found them. It was a Mass Suicide!!!!

How is it murder? Haha. I had a koi jumped out of the tank because the aeration was a bit too strong. I think it is suicide but put a lid on the tank.

Oscars are known to jump. You should keep well secured lids on the tank.

Oscars don't commit suicide... but they do eat other fish and their own kind!

There's something fishy about this, I think it could be murder.

maybe it wasn't murder or suicide, maybe it was courting or fighting
