Hi all! I have an ADF coming Thursday (tomorrow now - It's 1:30am. Sleep's over rated :P) and I'm setting up the tank. It's an already established 10 gallon tank. I moved the fish I had in it to a bigger tank. All the water levels are good, and I'm just working on the plants. The new frog will have a betta friend. The cave I've got for the betta is woven out of lucky bamboo, so some of it would be above water. I've been reading a lot of mixed opinions online about whether an ADF would try to escape the tank. Some say they've never had a problem keeping ADFs in open tanks, and some said that they'll jump out, but that keeping the water an inch or two below the fill level will be fine, but do you think he'd climb on the plant and try to escape? Has anyone had experience with an ADF jumping out of a tank? Since they're fully aquatic, it seems an odd thing to do although that doesn't mean much since my African Butterfly Fish would jump every time the lid came off if I let him lol.

If I need to, I know how to cut off the tops of the lucky bamboo and seal the stalk so that it'll stay healthy. I'll still keep the top above the water about an inch or two, but it'll be short enough to keep the lid on the tank. Another thought I had was getting some mesh to go over the tank and cutting a hole in it just big enough to fit around the plant. Any thoughts, opinions, or advice would be great!
