Had my first jumper

Was cleaning the tank and freaked out Nemo. I generally have a cover on. Luckily he landed on a towel and I got him right back in. My concern is that is a pretty decent jump. It would be like me jumping from the 11th floor here or higher.

He looks great- do you think there will be long term effects? I just can wrap my head around 11th story equivalent jump not being more devastating.

I had my first jumper last week. My goby thought he could fly!

My flame angel jumps couple times a day. I only know this because I can hear him hitting the plastic shield over the lights in the biocube( probably brain damaged by now ) I would imagine he would be dead if it weren't for the hood on the biocube.

He should be good as long as you got him
Back in quick, he probably got a bruise or something but bruises heal, fish jumping isn't that uncommon and as long as it's caught early fish should live
