Cleaner gobies--jumpers??

[velvetelvis]

I just got a pair of sharknose cleaner gobies in from DD tonight. While I was acclimating them in a specimen container, one of them jumped out and landed on the floor. I was able to get it back in the tank quickly, and it doesn't seem any worse for the wear, but it's got me a little concerned. Are cleaner gobies bad to jump out of open-top tanks? Thanks!

My cleaner goby jumped out of the tank while I was feeding it. It was trying to grab the food floating on the surface. I would put a lid on the tank.

lost one second night to a jump. unless another fish threw it out of the tank.

All fish are capable of jumping out.......its always a gamble with open tops.
