I was just minding my own business and my clown jumped out of the tank. I got him back in really quick and he's back to hosting the heater close to the surface.
I read somewhere that it could be due to the water being too hot. I have my heater set at 78 which has been consistent. It gets to about 80 when the lights are on but that's about as high as it will go. So now I've set the heater to 77 and hopefully that would do it when the lights are on.
My water parameters have been perfect. Checked a little and had a bit of ammonia but not enough to change to a whole different color. I did however feed him not long ago with frozen mysis shrimp so that could cause the tiny ammonia spike. Going to Lowes tomorrow to get some eggcrate to make a top for the tank just in case it happens again.
Anyone know of any reason why clowns would jump out of the tank to begin with? I've searched everywhere and have just been suggested that it could be temp, water parameters, aggressive fish (he's the only fish in the tank) but no one is for sure
