Stars/stripe puffer JUMPED out of tank???

[agreeive?fish]

well my 5+ year old stars and stripes puffer jumped out of the tank around 4am...he knocked open the glass canopy enough where the glass stayed open and puffer ended up on the floor..man that was a noise to say the least at 4am..didnt know puffers were jumpers...and he is currently the only fish in the 210g and has been the only fish in the fowlr tank for 2+ years seems to be ok at the moment

Wow. Very glad he is OK.

Wow I'm glad you able to rescue him. A few months ago my male bluejaw trigger jumped, I found him dead when I got home from work; I must have left the top open when I fed. My fuzzy dwarf lion jumped into the overflow in 2 different tanks. More fish jump than you think, I highly recommend screen tops for anyone running a topless tank.

Seems like we should start adding Bluethroat Triggers to the list of common jumpers... Every fish can jump, but it seems like the BT's do more than most other triggerfish..
Maybe they're scaredy cats

Unfortunately I don't think my wife would ever pick a fish up. Not barehanded anyway. Good thing I have a canopy.
