Why do some fish jump out from tanks?

[te9500rpm]

just wondering why some fish jump out from their tanks.. could anyone help me out on this? thanks in advance

 

[rook45]

some fish jump in the wild to feed and sometime fish jump because something scares them sure there are many other reasons

oic.. but would there be any preventions for them? like for example for them not to jump out of their tanks?

 

[rook45]

prevention would be a heavy glass lid or any other lid weighted down depending on fish size

do all fish jump? does my flowerhorn jump too?

 

[rook45]

never had a flower horn but i'm pretty sure all or most fish do have the capability to jump

If it can swim....it can jump....if you like your fish...why risk the chance....
