Recently I stocked my 240L with two fire and ice snakeheads... i knew they were jumpers when i got them but one of my new guys just loves to ride the bubbles from the airstone and jump into the lid! So the question or thing im wondering is should i be concerned that hes gonna cause himself some damage?? My lid is only 3mm thick similiar to what joey uses on his tanks if that helps! Also is there anything i can do to mitigate his desire to jump!
Welcome aboard
Do you have any plants in the aquarium? Do they jump when you approach the aquarium.
I have plants attatched to a bigger piece of bog wood at the moment also no they actually come up to the glass to almost check you out they are very social
Ill grab some tomorrow and see if that helps thanks for the suggestion ... hes now moved to the other side to try over there i feel like ive aquired a jail bird who just wants to be free
Ill post around some communities and see if anyone has some!Get some floating plants, helps them get comfortable
Water sprite is a particularly prolific and covering species that I have
Lower the water a lot so he can't hit the lid,some fish are just air junkies,jumping can actually help them maintain their muscles ,so it's basically exercise.
I have it about 7 ish 8ish inches down now i put a towel over the lid yesterday and it stopped took it off today and hes hasnt jumped anymore!! Think he tore a couple fins so he might of learned a lesson
