So while moving the fish to the new place they are all in a stock container for the time being. I expected to have a few jump out once or twice, and I covered the container, but wow.

At first everytime we walked into the kitchen one or two of the platties would go airborne, one actually hit me about 5 feet away. impressive.

I expected it to be the bala sharks, as they are known jumpers, and one of them did make it right into my face at one point while removing them (hard noses on those things btw), but the platties are killing me. Everytime we make a noise in the kitchen they jump up into the cover. we just hear little "splash, dink splash"

Just thought I would share while I'm getting my morning coffee in me.

LOL Fishy circus!
You can make millions!

Maybe a padded lid will help! They do jump when spooked.

yeah the cats were batting at one of them while we were getting the rest up.

Good thing our cats wouldn't know how to kill anything if they wanted to. They were just sort of poking it with their paws.

I like the circus idea...

LOL, fish to get jumpy when you put them in containers. Make sure to check around every once in a while.

hopefully its only going to be today they are in there. My friend who is supposed to be helping me bailed last night, and again today. Trying to pull in favors. Not many people are willing to help move an 8 foot tank.
