Yes, they need covers and plenty of covers... Most Amazonian fish will jump..

I've never heard of a Payara jumping out of a Tank... It's better to prepare for it but I just haven't read a thread about it

My old Tat used to have days where he would freak out and rub on the glass, he would start rubbing on the glass from the bottom and go turbo to the top and smack the hood There are just some things that you have to be prepared for when keeping these fish.

Most are from Peru and Venezuela.

I had a scomb jump out of a tank where the filter went in. I am surprised he even fit .

Any fish will jump, payara are just much more likely to get enough force to jump out.

I know fish jump n the last one I was surprised by was from my buddy Reiner. His MBU jumped.
I'm just saying I never heard of them jumping
Industrial, did your Scomb check out or did you catch him on time?
