Platies And Neons - Do The Jump?

[sheffieldlad]

Hi all,

Are neon tettras or platies known jumpers?
I don't have a light yet in my tank and the lid is off so the lighting I have rigged up can reach the water.
I'm worried about my neons suiciding on the carpet and also my platies which are the next fish I am going to add in a week are two.

Many thanks

I've got an open top tank and none of my fish have jumped and I have some known jumpers in there! My neons never show an interest in going to the top of the tank at all!

Thanks for that. Don't want to spend my days scraping fish off the carpet
