Not sure you really needed to bump a thread that was already at the top of the page, bumping is usually for a fast moving forum where your thread moves to the second page within a few hours.

Anyway... I am not sure, but I would imagine the 3rd picture, the 1st 2 look like they are almost the same fish, just probably in a different mood.

I don't think angel fish are typically jumpers, mine have never jumped (unless I hold a bit of food right above the water for them) so don't think you would have to worry too much about them jumping. But with any fish its always a possibility.

I had one jump out of a tank once but it was a grow out tank for babies and was crowded so I think it was probably just a 'jump' in the sense that it bumped into another fish and jumped back. Unfortunately the water was high as I had just completed a water change and the lid was off. The angelfish had an unfortunate end as one of my cats ran off with it so it was some time before I found it with my bare foot in the middle of the night :yuck:. Other than that--I do not consider Angelfish as jumpers--probably due to their size and shape.
