with platies and tetra..... my shrimps also sometimes jump out of the tank...
it's a small tank... very unsightly to cover it.... but will try to do it at least at night.... cos most suicide cases happen at night

They jump because they r attracted to the insects flying around the tank top i suppose. Shrimp jump when they are being forced..i guess..
