    Before I put any fish in my tank, I embed a tiny transmitter into their dorsal side, activating it by providing a good strong electrical current through the water(I hear fish like that), so that if they jump out it sets off the alarm, which concurrently sends for the paramedics to come give the fish CGR(Cardio gill resuscitation), before bringing it to the animal hospital where it undergoes weeks of intensive monitoring before bringing it back home to my display tank....

    Kidding obviously- but seriously, I equip each of my fish with a parachute just in case they do jump and have a long distance to the floor....

    Kidding again obviously- but seriously, I have a saltwater mote around my tank just in case any fish jump out, so that they land back in water and not on my hardwood flors...

    Kidding again obviously- but seriously, I'm going to stop now.
