Long-jumper

[uws]

Recently, my 6-line wrasse did a long jump...out from the tank(hoodless) and onto the floor... a distance of 20cm away from the tank.

It eventually went to heaven....

Before getting any other fish to accompany my maroon clown, I would like to know what other types of fishes are long jumpers so that I can avoid them.

Thx.

hahaha... think it was kena disturb by ur clownfish. or it think that it's a flying fish or bird...hahaha..

Sorry for the death.

Okay...these are the fishes which can fly...

dragonet..

all gobies...

all dartfishes....

all dottyback and pseudochromis...

for dragonets and wrasses...actually they are not often a problem...

there are ppl who encountered them flying out of their tank...

look for the cause of six-lin death...stress ? environment ? bully ? not properly acclimated ?

my tank is hoodless but dun seems to have a problem with six-line.

so look for the cause first before pointing the finger at six-line.

Once i did have my arowana jumping out and died on the floor because i forget to cover the lid...

that's a worse experience...my baby...my money....CRY...

Flasher wrasse are also good jumpers. Last time I did not cover my hood properly, also can jump out through the small gap

rest in peace for all jumpers.

Wah bro ... didnt know an arowana can jump... becoz it seems like a slow and heavy fish.

Is mandarinfish part of the dragonet family?

I used to have mandarinfish before and dont encountered them jumping.

For my 6-line, it was with me for more than 1 week... may be disturbed by clown or the algae blenny... saw them fighting once in a while.

When my maid told me she saw the 6-line on the floor, i couldnt believe her at first but then the facts came when I saw the frozen body...sigh

hhahaha...mandarin is the same as dragonet but just another common name.

Oic...ya...normally they will jump out of tank if really cannot stand the stress and bullying going on in the tank...

yup...arowana can jump one..hahaha..they are slow but are strong fishes...hahaha..

dragonet actually wun really jump la...it's really very peaceful fish...it will swim on my palm during feeding. and i can carry it to another tank by placing it on my palm...

hahaha...but there are ppl who experienced it jumping...

that's why i suggested that u look into the problem and find out the source...

unless the fish is really super active or high on drugs, u wun have a problem of it flying...(unless it's a flying fish).

CHEERS. good luck.
