=\.
today, i was watching T.V next to my tank.
i kept hearing the water splashing a little, so i was like wtf? turns out my jardini was jumping out of the water. the lid was on so i wasnt worried.
a few hours late, when i was feeding my fish , i noticed the jardini was missing his 2 front whiskers. i was like, maybe its in his mouth or something, so i fed my fish and walked away.
i just checked on him, and he's floating vertically with his nose pointed on the surface of the water.....
whats wrong w/ my jardini???
the water parameters are fine and none of the other fish are acting strangely, not even the other jardini.
his 2 front whiskers are definately gone, and i do not know where they are. (they were kinda black and looked as if they were rotting earlier today though).
i only have big als water conditioner, so i put some on my jardini hoping he would heal a bit, but that did nothing. he's not moving very much anymore and only struggles occasionally.
did this have anything to do w/ him jumping out of the water? (he never landed on the floor or anything, maybe he hit the lid at most, but i doubt it.)

I would say the bang you heard was it smashing into the end of the tank causing it to damage its self then knock its self out the jardini I have had did not like there own kind so might be the 2 of them having a fight just dont know how aggressive they are when that small
i do have a divider set up already. half the tank belongs to my juvy P's and the otherside is for my tiger barbs. i placed both the jardinis in the tiger barb side at first and they did fight so i separated one.i put him in the piranha side (not the one who's messed up right now), but the piranhas nipped his fins, so i set him in a 2.5 gallon tank.
i checked this morning, and i found my jardini (the injured one) on my piranha side . his eye was missing and a big chunk of his lower body is gone also =\. i dont know how he managed to jump past the divider , but now he's dead T_T.
i just fed my Piranhas a $30 feeder T_T.

sorry for your loss man...aro's are pretty sensitive when young and super skittish. my silver stunned himself against the hood when i turned on the aquarium light once.
