Every Filter Roller needs a clown

[burningmime]

Hi, my name is Sump Clown. I spent about 15 hours in a display tank and decided it wasn't for me. My hobbies include jumping into overflow boxes. 10-foot waterslides into basement sumps and evading nets. My dream for the future is for my mate to also jump so we can happily live together. I'm not worried my owner will put me back in the display, now that I know how to jump I'll probably keep doing it every day!

Oh no! lol

And now my OTHER clownfish is in the overflow. So probably very soon to meet its mate (who got out of the filter roller and is now chilling in the sump proper dodging nets).

Should I just go ahead and leave them in the sump? I feel like if I return them to the display, they'll just jump again.

Put a plastic cage on your drain pipe or a cover on the overflow.

Are they being chased by another fish, causing them to jump?

At least they didn’t end up in the paper roll, lol.

I'll need to figure something out. Need to stop them from getting into the overflow in the first place, so the drain pipe won't help.

The one I saw jump wasn't being chased, she was just after a piece of food that was going that direction.

Don't worry; they're both happy and healthy.
