Hi
Jumping- This behavior might suggest the fish is suffering from parasites, or even poor water conditions. When the pH is dropping fish will jump because the water is irritating to their skin. So the first thing is to check the water conditions. If they check out fine than you would want to consider parasites. Flukes especially can cause jumping. So always establish water conditions and then treat for parasites.
Can any one confirm the above that parasites do make fish react this way?
What other types of infections/parasites make fish jump?
Does the lack of oxygene make fish jump?
