Mmiller2001 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Are these guys jumpers? I don't keep lids on their future home. Thanks for any insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laritheloud Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Rainbows in general are capable of jumping... but mine never have. I keep pseudomugils and not dwarf neon rainbows, but the way they stuck around the tippy top of the tank made me nervous for awhile. Still, never jumped. I have a lid on half the tank and the other has floaters and tall plants in the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd Duck Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Pretty much all rainbows are known to potentially be jumpers. Heavy cover of floaters can minimize risk but it can also limit gas exchange, so use wisely. I would figure out a lid if it was my tank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeisgood Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I have a lid on my tanks with rainbows but I have heard that we have to be watchful during water changes and tank maintenance. The fish can be spooked into jumping at those times especially. Some people with lidless tanks keep water levels lower to prevent fish from jumping out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Thank you all. I will add lids once they go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy101 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I agree with what’s above, I’ve heard that they can also become a lot more jumpy when they are adults. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
