They're not as known for it as other species, but can/will jump if chased or spooked. Did you notice any aggression issues between the two, or with any other fish in the tank (if you have any)?

It would also help to know what other live stock is in your tank

I had a clown jump out once and flopped his way like 5 feet from my tank... I woke up and found the darn thing in the hallway the next morning... I still can't figure out how he did it.
