Do clownfish jump?

[ThRoewer]

Almost all fish can and will jump under the right (or rather wrong) conditions.
I lost more fish to jumping that to Ich.

Yes clowns can jump and sometimes do. Spooking a clown during tank cleaning or chasing by another fish can result in clownfish jumping.

Sometimes they just get spooked by themselves.

When in doubt, just cover it

When in doubt, just cover it

We just got a pair of "flurry" Frostbite 3 days ago that I fell in love with at a local fish store. I commented to my husband last night that they were so happy in their new home only to find just 1 of them in there this morning. Tragically, she was found behind our dresser a good foot from the tank. So devastating . There are no other fish in the tank to spook them so I have a theory that she might've gotten too close to the intake in the corner and that's what spooked her. What's even worse and more unbelievable, we ordered a cover & it arrived yesterday. We decided we'd wait until today to install it. I've never been more devestated to lose a fish. :facepalm:

Do clowns jump? That question is kind of like.. Do dogs bite?

Yes sometimes

Sir, does your dog bite?

No

Man bends over and pets dog, which turns around and bites man.

I thought you said your dog didn't bite?

That is not my dog!

I have 2 clowns living in my overflow. They got themselves there, they are going to have to get themselves out, since I can't.

Getting fish out of an overflow is never fun
