Why do danios have to have the ability to jump? - Page 2 - Aquarium Advice

Maybe haha. I dont know why they're jumping out but then again my fish like to splash the surface randomly... so I probably figured they were just being them and went on watching tv.

You could temporarily put seran wrap over the tank. Not the entire tank. But about 3/4 of it. It will give the same effect as a hood, temporarily.

or tin foil, or you could spend 5.00 on eggcrate

I could try that....but if my grandpa starts going *puts on old person voice* "Where the heck did all my seran wrap go?" I'll be like..... "I DIDN'T DO ITTTT!!!!"

It won't take much seran wrap to cover the top of the tank. Plus, it will save more fish form jumping to their deaths.

Eh, seran wrap and tin foil...my two worst enemies. The seran wrap always stickt to itself and becoms useless, and I always manage to rip the tinfoil.

I made a [acronym:33235c26d9="Do it yourself"]DIY[/acronym:33235c26d9] cover. I went to homedepot and spent $8.00 on a 21" x 21" peice of 1/4in ridgig plastic, put it over my tank and traced it, then took a saw to it. I just put my lights on top of it. It works great! Just make custom holes for the equipment, my cuts are so tight to my equipment that my danios have no room to jump out.

What about finding where the open areas are and using clingwrap or something similar to cover those holes??
