Ever wonder why some fishes jump so well?
I mean, I've had Rivulus that could soar out of the smallest opening in an aquarium, like a Trident ICBM leaving a submarine launch-tube!
And being a lover of open-top tanks, it doesn't seem like I'll ever have any of my beloved Marbled Hatchetfishes (Carnegiella strigata) or "Splash Tetras' in my tanks.

Then again, I've had an Apistogramma do a "death leap" out of my open-top tank, too-so you can never be too careful, right? Fishes jump out of fright, aggression, etc...too many reasons to theorize. Obviously, if you're water smells like #$^&, there's a better-than-average chance that they're jumping cause the living conditions suck. And they're just hoping that "the next stream over" has better water.
