![]() Yeah they're jumpers. When I was putting one into my tank the other night, the little bugger made about an 18" leap from the container I was acclimating him in to the tank as I was walk to put him in. Surprised the hell out of me!
That being said, I still have an open tank. |

![]() Mine is still a pretty small blue mandarin. I have found him in the overflow box once and he has taken the ride to the sump a couple times. I had to position a small sponge ontop of the overflow box as the eggcrate wasn't doing anything to stop him. Its hard to believe he could jump out but I think if he was riding a upcurrent and timed a quick dash right he could end up on the carpet.

![]() no way. Mine is fat and it can jump quite high. You would be surprised how high yours can jump.
And fat is lighter than water... |
