Jumpy 'lotl?

[auntiejude]

I was feeding my axies a treat (waxworms) this evening and Pinky decided to jump - almost out of the water - and knock the pot with the worms into the water!
In went the worms, sawdust and wood shavings. There followed 20 minutes of 2 axies trying to gobble up worms, managing to get some wood shaving too (they are 8" so I'm not too worried) me frantically trying to scoop up worms & wood and trying to make sure the other 2 get some worms too.

Now I know Pinky thinks with his stomach, and I know I was feeding them late this evening - but does anyone else have an axies who would jump out of the tank for food? Should I be worried? Pinky is on the plump side, definately not starving to death, no sign of parasites, fungus, illness or anythign else.

My axies dont 'jump' out of the tank but they most definatly come out of the water, they stick their whole head out (if im not feeding them quick enough) then when they gulp the air they swim to the bottom very fast and blow out air bubbles. Its quite funny to watch haha!
