The gap was just from the coverglass, to let some air in. Usually i have a hood on the tank but its summer here and the tanks been heating up a bit.
I didnt think that any of my fish could jump!

They can die if they puff up with air but I have heard of them dying before from puffing in water too and not being able to deflate. I guess its just not good for them to puff in general, although I have seen mine puff sometimes for no reason that I can see. But of course I really dont know what he is feeling!
I thought mine was going to puff up today because the chromis that is in his tank, has been chasing him a bit and seems to be nipping him! The chromis is about 1/4 of his size but he still just runs and hides! Its very strange! I thought he would stand up for himself!
