    Damn jawfish decided to jump this morning >,< it found the small un covered area in the back of the tank .... lucky for me i walked into the room and noticed it fliping about in front of the tank ! yea ! it made it all the way to the front of the tank ! He seems like hes gonna make it i threw him right back into the tank and he went straight to his burrow .. anyhow I'm off to TAP plastics to have some pieces cut to fill the void in the back

    Oh no!! I'm glad you found him in time. Poor guy was probably so stressed out. Glad you're getting a lid!

    I am currently under the impression that any fish can jump. I was trying to catch my rabbitfish and take him back to the LFS because he started eating my corals... While trying to catch him he jumped about a foot high and out of the tank. All with about 6" of swimming start.

    all fish will jump when there a net trying to trap them
    mine do when i have to move tanks or something
    i just don't think all fish jump by themselves


    jaw fish defiantly will though
