Smallest Warmouth jumped out of the Tank

[Rays of Sunshine]

All of my warmouths are extreme strikers. Well the smallest one is also the fastest out of six. I had one of the guys working for me, feed the warmouth tank. I was turned with my back to the tank, looking at the 100 gallon stock tank.

I see a blur fly past me a hit the floor. The guy and I look down at the same time and it's the smallest warmouth!!!! He jumped SIX FEET!!! The warmouth came with such speed underneath a meal worm that he shot out of the tank. This crazy fish lived!!! He is about 3-4 inches long.

Here is an old pic of the fish:

No lid but might have to get a lid.

Heaven help when this little one and the rest grow larger!!! Anyone feeding this group of fish has to step back 1 and sometimes 2 feet back after dropping food in to avoid getting soaked.
