    My midas blenny has now jumped out of the tank on 2 occassions, and gone splat on the floor, luckily somebody was in to put him back in.
    He has been in the tank for nearly 3 months now and did this twice in the last week, now could this be because they jump anyway, a rise in temp, hotter weather/pressure, or just a new trick he learnt, the water is 5/6 inches below the top of the tank so he must be one hell of a jumper, i have since cut up some condensation trays and placed them on top of tank to prevent this happening again?

    Don't think its due to water change i do 25% every month and 10% every week, but can see what you mean...
