Topic: Clownfish Jumping? Posted: May 06 2009 at 4:17pm |
Anyone ever had Clownfish jump? I had a clownfish for the last 2-3 months and unfortunately yesterday when I got home it was unfortunately on my tile. Not fun.
I've never heard of a clownfish surfing...the only reason I can think of this is my stupid Six-Line has become aggressive and has decided the entire tank is his. He didn't nip at the clown, but he's a bully. Not sure if he just pushed the clown over the edge...
Any "tough" fish that are reef safe anyone can recommend that will hold their own with the six-line...?

For stuff that will hold it's own with a 6 line, just pick fish bigger than him. That ALWAYS worked with my 6 line.

I've had one jump into the back chamber of my nano. Luckily he was fine.

I've personally seen them jump a few times in front of me.

Any recommendations to catch the Six-Line? The things are fast...he unfortunately was the demise of my Firefish and another Clownfish (beat on him).

I had to do that with damsels, what a pain. Back on topic, I have had a few of my clowns jump. Â Once I was lucky enough to be standing by the tank when it launched and the other time it jumped into the overflow. Â I put screening over the top to the tank to prevent breakouts. Â (however it hasnt been on the tank since I moved)

Hahah, that's actually not a bad idea...however I don't loathe the Six-Line that much and it'd eat everything else as well, which I don't necessarily want. Just need to make sure I'm careful when selecting new fish...hopefully they stay tough with the six-line.
