How are gars on jumping? Im just curious more than anything, as the little information there is on this is contradictory. Would a cover be needed if there was a 10 inch wall above the surface and there was plenty of room/volume (pond day-dreaming).
definitely very capable jumpers...and very strong fishes as well. keep a cover on any gar enclosure, and if they are larger fishes, be sure the cover is weighted or taped down--

Mine just jumped out of the tank on Friday when I was cleaning it. He just freaked out. He has never done this before. The top of my tank is 6ft off the ground too. He jumped, slid down a cutain, bouched off a chest and landed on the carpet! He seems ok, but he isn't eating much which has me worried.
