Question
Hi, for the past week my fish from my 2 aqueriunms have been jumping out even with a cover over it! This is really wierd plz help.THANKS!!!!

Answer
Hi Michael;

This usually happens when the water has something in it that is bothering them or they have a parasite that is making them frustrated and itchy. Make a 25% water change right away in case there are toxins present. This should give them some relief until we can discover what's going on.

How long has the tank been set up?
What size tank is it?
What is the water temperature?
Whay kind of fish?
What sizes are they?
How many fish?
How long have you had them?
What kind of filter?
Have you cleaned the filter or the tank recently?

Let me know as soon as you can.......
