Default Jumping clown...

I came home to the one smaller of my two clown fish on the floor. Since when are clown fish carpet jumpers??? I had this little guy for well over six months, and he seemed to be very healthy. I hate that!

Any thoughts on adding another? Should the next be smaller or larger than the existing one?

Yeah, unfortunately they jump from time to time.

I've lost one that way & heard of a few that did the same.

Also, why is always when you're out of the house that they choose to jump?

Gotta hate CCCs. You should try and find a clown that is smaller than the one you have. So there is no question of who's territory the tank is.

No kidding! For all the time I spending staring into that glass box you would think they would jump out when I am home!

I had a feeling getting a smaller one was right, thanks!

I wonder if I can find a small maroon in town to replace him, be neat to try a different type this time....
