Why do my fish jump ? <Explained>

[Felix Seng]

In studying the jumping behavior of guppies, it was clear to Soares and Bierman that the fish did not jump to escape predators – neither were they jumping out of the tank to acquire food. This left the possibility that the guppies were jumping out of the water as a means of seeking another body of water. Several things might prompt a fish to exhibit this type of behavior. If the water quality in the tank is poor, the fish might jump out to seek a more appropriate environment. Other factors such as lack of hiding places, low oxygen levels and improper pH balance can also lead to fish jumping out of the tank. Unfortunately, in the home environment, there is not always another body of water for the fish to jump into.
