Sorry for the dumb question... I was just wondering if it's possible for a ray to even jump out of a tank???Has anyone had this happen to them???

It's not a dumb question. They don't really jump out but they can lift themselves over the side of the tank. The waterlevel in my tank is only 5 cm from the top so I make sure my tank is closed, especially at the sides.

Grtz,

In the video it sounds like a loud hand clap. I hope the ray wasnt injured.

I've never had a ray jump, but many times, when my ray tank was in the bedroom, I've been woken up by rays banging the glass tops.
