male O. clown jumps out of tank.

[lbear]

The male one of my Ocellaris pairs jumped out of the tank last night. It was doing well for the past 5 months since my tanks was setup. It grew from 1" to 1.5". However, it had record of jumping. I found it twice in the overflow box 3 months ago. It's the third time it jumps out . I always have the canopy closed because I have a goby in the tank. Unfortunately there is a 5"x5" open area on the back of the canopy that's where it gets out.

Now I want to buy a male O. clowns about 1.5" at most. How do I know it's a male?

Just make sure it's a small one. Bummer about your fish tho.

Sorry about your fish. Make sure you get one from a community tank and it isn't bullying every other fish in the tank and you should be OK. Also best not to pick the largest fish.
