They are slow and shy. Not Recommended to house them with the fast and gluttony fish in the same tank. I remove my platinum rummy nose and emperor tetra after I bought the samurai gourami. Now the samurai are always waiting for food and whenever anyone walks near to the tank they will come near to the surface thinking it is feeding time.

I never mix fishes in the same tank. I always stick to species tanks.
This way, fishes will feel more comfortable and be always in 'home ground'.

That's why they have a fierce name, to compensate for their shyness, lol.

T_T

dun have the issue anymore.
Cracked my brasss bubble counter one night removed it and forgot to switch off the solenoid when I connected direct.

Gased the whole tank.
1/10 tetra left
1/5 oto
few shrimps and yamato died surprisingly
Samurai didn't die but one chose to end her life to search for better things out of the tank.

Anyone experience jumping samurai? Frequently? This is the 2nd one that did this to me, probably I Tekkan them one day before maybe?

Oh mine.. You mean die of co2 poisoning? I had one similar situation , all my fish dead.. I mean all.. even the shrimp too. My co2 solenoid went bonker, it run like non stop bubble.
By the way, i dont see my samurai jumping out, but just can't survive for long. You can put a top cover on your tank, hopefully it will prevent.

Samurai do jump if they are in stressed mode. However, if the condition is okay, they do not normally jump.

Mine jump. Recently some of my samurais died all the sudden. Not sure what happen. The only thing I know is I bought another pair from c328. The death started after I add this pair into my tank... Sad
