My male trimac used to hit the surface really hard for food until the day I raised the lid and no sooner than I could grab the food container he had jumped out and landed on the floor. I think he learned his lesson because he doesn't hit the surface nearly as hard for food anymore.i absolutly CANNOT hold the bag of pellets over the water or one of my o's WILL jump up and grab it, once he landed on the enge and i had to nudge him back into the water. silly fishies
I never taught mine to jump, but he would bang his head on the hood all the time. I had to tape the hood down to keep him from escaping, LOL!!!
I'm teaching my bass to jump for food right now. My younger brother was holding a frog about 3 inches from the water not even paying attention and BAM. the bass nabbed it.
It was cool.
I don't plan on stopping the jumping lessons but I will take procautions now.
