clownfish troubles

[dandoozled]

I woke up this morning with one of my 2 clowns on the floor outside of the tank, I'm not exactly sure why it jumped out because I've had the tank for over a month and neither of the two clowns ever even attempted to jump above the water. I got my water parameters checked at the LFS yesterday aswell and the guy working said my parameters were spot on where they should be. I added in a royal gramma several days ago, and I saw that it started to get more comfortable with its' environment yesterday, it stopped hiding and actually moved about the tank for the first time. But when I was paying attention during the day, the clowns and royal gramma weren't bothering one another, so I doubt the royal gramma scared them out of the tank... the biggest one of the clowns jumped out, I can't find my other clown but I'm hoping it's still inside the tank, as I have not found a body yet :/

All fish jump...impossible to tell you why it chooses to jump out.
Any pets outside the tank that would eat the fish if It was on the floor

Always have lids on my tanks. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/clear-netting.html I used this but 1/8 inch and made my own frame. Worth investing the extra $20 to save the fish

I had a clown jump once that i wasnt able to catch and another that i luckly was there before it dried out. I would suggest a lid of some sort if you dont want it to be a problem in the future.
