Sad to hear this.
Many of us here face death of their beloved fishes.
We know how you feel.
Get a male & carry on with this great hobby ok.

I've never faced the problem of apistogrammas jumping out of my tanks but i think that in your case its best to put a cover.

Hi bro chuencp, you should have put a cover for safety precaution man. It is really sad to see a nice apisto died like this way. One thing, i don't understand is what makes an apisto jump off from the tank?

Get another pair so that you can form a trio. Polyart, C328 and biotope have a steady supply of Ap. macmasteri recently. So they shouldn't be difficult to find. Or you can ask auntie if she has male only for sale. I saw a male inside the betta tank 2 weeks ago. Maybe the female died and she can sell it off individually.

Lower your water height, if not, put a cover.

If i am not wrong, Bitope now only have male Ap.macmasteri , may be you can get from there

actually i got put not transparent cover on top of my tank, but i left a small gap to let the light go in....maybe that's where it jump out from...i also dont know why he jump out, this the 1st time i facing this
by the way, will call Biotope to ask, but dont think can buy so fast, cause nearly broke already, plus IT show is start already
