Dee,

Koi will jump when they don't like their water, when new to a pond, or when
they feel cornered.

Keep an eye on him. Having the slime coat dried/scraped off often allows
bad bacteria to enter the skin and cause ulcers. I would use a double dose
of KoiZyme to try to prevent the start of infection, but if infection
starts, post quickly and we will pick it up there.

Is it
normal for koi to just jump like that? He had to have jumped at LEAST 6
feet, as there is
a ledge, and a shelf, plus the rocks around the edge.

If they jump like that, is there something I should do in the future to
discourage it?

I am not
sure if he is going to make it or not. If he does, I think I will rename
him Houdini.
