| Well Bettas Jumping out of bowls is pretty common. Once my mom and dad had a betta (When I was little) and they had it for a real long time. One day they went out and came back to our cat staring at it gasping on the floor all dried up. Poor thing could have been there for hours. They hurried over, frantic, and put it back in it's tank. Miraculously, it survived for many months later. Now that's one tough fish!

That is one tough fish. It should be since it's a betta.

I had a similar thing happen to a Betta when I was a teenager, jumped out of the tank and I look for hours, finally found it in the bathroom with the cat. It looked dead and I was gonna flush it then decided to put it back in the tank, next morning it was swimming around, swam weird from that day on, but lived another year after that.

| Once a long time ago when my little brother was 3 or 4 he scooped one of our guppies out of the tank and dropped it on the floor. He went and said something about a fish to our dad but he didn't think anything of it. Around 30 min later my other little brother was walking by the tank and stepped on something wet. Looking down he saw the poor guppy! We all thought it was dead but it moved so we put it back in the tank where it swam off. That guppy lived for another year!:w00t: Fish are amazing!!
