    Stress jumper?

    Jumping Fish

    Has anyone ever had a queen anthias fish jumped out of their tank? Right after my weekly weekend water change as I was doing tonight I was cleaning up, looked over at the floor and my fish was on the floor. It's skin was dry so it must have been out of my tank for a couple hours. So I'm just...

    Clownfish Jumping from my Fluval Evo

    Has anyone else with a Fluval Evo had a problem with clownfish jumping out? I lost one last night, and this is the second time a clownfish has jumped out in the ~5 years I've had the tank. I guess I should cover the little opening in the front. Does anyone have good ideas for what to use to...

    Do _____ Jump?!?!?

    YES unless it's a seahorse or a starfish, then just maybe. An open top tank is a risk to the fish inside. Some people are okay with that risk some are not, but it is up to the aquarist's equipment not the stocking selection to ultimately prevent fish jumping. This has been your snarky FSA...

    Jumper!!! Anything I should know?

    Hi all, I was mixing up salt water tonight for my water change tomorrow and I turned around to look at my tank and saw my favorite little male clownfish lying motionless on my carpet! I have an Innovative Marine Nuvo Fusion tank, which comes with a typical frame/mesh top that I always use, and...

    How did it get out?

    2nd Diamond Goby in quarantine jumped! First one was crazy since I had an egg-crate lid. But this one? I reinforced the egg-crate lid with a solid 1/8" plastic mesh! I also had a bottle of Vitamarin-M on the top for extra weight! I go to check on him this morning...and there he is on the...

    Ralph, the Luckiest Goby: A Lesson on Jumpers.

    I post this story for two reasons: First and foremost, as a lesson to anyone who owns, is considering owning, or will own fish that are known to jump. Second, for humorous/entertainment purposes. Over the weekend my LED strip fizzled out on me. Found out salt creep made it's way into the...
