I have the new mini and I want to put 2 clowns in this setup however I have been reading alot of stories about clowns jumping. Do I have alot to worry about as I want to put in 2 picasso's in this 20g nano? thanks for any advice.

About 3 months ago I had my male B&W O jump twice, that last one was the LAST time. Think it had a lot to do with the female deciding to divorce him.

That was the only times I have had clowns jump in the 15+ years of keeping them.

My picasso has jumped the tank twice both times landing in the sump behind my tank... never found out why but now there is a cover on the tank. No way am I loosing a fish THAT expensive!

Clowns are jumpers, beware. Remember, better safe than sorry...

I guess if need be I can get the top for the mini as they make one for it.

I like the Elos Mini, without the cover.

I like clowns.

No clowns in my tanks without covers. Too many of the hundreds I have kept have jumped.
