Sorry you lost them. We need to make sure it wasn't just an ordinary leap.

Have you been checking your pH? Have you added pH adjusters? Did you do a large water change that evening?

Abrupt changes in pH will make them do this, as will some other chemical factors.

In addition, fish getting out of the way of a predator will also cause it and when he jumps, the predator may follow .

What size tank is this? How long has it been set up?

Yeah, there must be something seriously up with your water if your RTBS and all of your flame tetras jumped out all in one night.

What size is the tank and what fish are in it?



I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
