Tips on how to prevent aros to jump?

[Cichla dude]

i think ,, ''dont take it the wrong way bud (ettfettbrananm)'', but if you take some of the decor out of the tank it will give the aro some room to go sideways if startled , if it gets startled it will see all the obsticles and think up is the best way to go ,, tank looks cool ,, i am picking up a black aro at the weekend so will be relying on you lot for advise etc soon ,

I agree..

here's what you do...get some rope, and a brick-tie one end of the rope to the brick, and the other to your arow, and there you go! no more jumping!!! lol i just had to say that!

well i got my black aro ,,, put a vid in media lounge ,, i now have experienced how lively they can be when the lfs tried to catch him for me ,, i am glad i have lids on my tank , but will look into softening them ,, was thinking maybe with bubble wrap so light still gets through ,??

hey man, I'm not the op my aros "never" jump, and the tank is a little more than 2,5 feet wide and 7 long so they are not cramped yet.. but I did lose 2 aros from jumping before I rescued these guys, hence the net..

Ya, my baby black aro only jumped once, before that it never jumped either. It only took the one time, now it will never jump again.
