Hey theemon, how's it going?
Your little "tank hopper" probably just got startled.
I've never noticed CPD's being nippy at all. I've kept them with many other fish of similar size and never had any problems.
Once I grew-out about 60 to 80 fry in a 20 gallon long with a male Beta. The Beta herded them like sheep at times, but no real problems... no fin nipping either.

| well i got problems. ive caught 3 in 2 different tanks. 2x in the tank to the left, once in the tank below it... id hate to think have many jumped out the back. im mad, i had 7 to start, i see about 4 now.... well 5, the ones still in with the guppies. thats just a rough guess |

| well after catching them all, i seem to have lost 2 due to jumping, maybe the crayfish, but the cray was only in with them a week or two, so i doubt she was the cause. im assuming they jumped to there deaths, and theres no way to check behind the rack. theres also a slim chance 1 is still in with the purple moscow females, but i doubt it. |

| Have you seen any jumping since taking the crayfish out if not that'll been the cause. |

it only happened after ward.
im thinking maybe sudden movement in the room, and them seeing vague shapes threw the glass maybe? i doubt there spooked by the tanks to either side.
i never saw them jump, only found them in the next tank over, and below.
the only real difference is the food. before i was feeding them standard flake food, but recently got bring shrimp flakes.
drives me nuts kuz i figured id have jumping guppies, not the oddball fish 
as a side note, i moved them all, fuk the middle row, these guys got put on the bottom row in a 10gal. its set back a bit so its "hidden" from room movement and from everything else hopefully. |
