clown suicide

When I set up my 29g years ago, I bought to True Perculas.
After about 2 years, one jumped out of the tank, through a
very narrow spot. Honestly, it had a 50/50 chance of
falling right back into the tank, but chose the wrong way to
wriggle.

It was very sad, as they were a beautiful pair. I still
have the other one, that is now 7 years old. It has mated
with a False Percula and lays eggs every 2 weeks.

One of a pair of percula clowns jumped out of the tank last night. I'm
trying to figure out if there was a reason for it, or if it was just an
unlikely jump. There are no other fish in there yet, besides the remaining
clown, just a chocolate chip star, a small emerald crab and a clean up
crew.

Tank size- 55 gal
ammonia- 0
nitrites- 0
pH- 8.2
nitrates- 10
salinity - 1.0235

TIA,
Colleen
