So a question asked of me on a different post made me wonder if anyone else has an interesting leaping fish story. A powder blue gourami was put into my 29g tank a couple of weeks ago. After the 24 hour lights off intro period I do with all my fish I opened the lid to feed the fishies there flakes. Well the gourami I had just added was VERY impatient and leaped out of the water at the food in my hand. fortunately my hand was only an inch or two from the tank and when I jerked out of reflex I knocked the gourami back into the tank. He jumped a good 4 or 5 inches. Does anyone else have any stories like this? Oh, I almost forgot, the gourami also spits water like an archerfish. he will get a drop of water two or three inches above the surface and hit the flake food while it is descending!
P.s. the gourami is now known as Jaws. If you want to know why then go to youtube and look for videos of great white sharks off of seal island. then you will understand
. plus his teeth managed to cut one of my fingers when he hit my hand. lowering the water after that was quite an adventure, which I will tell later.
