Since you've seen them 'doing their thing' in their natural
environment.... would you risk a guess on their jumping ability
(height-wise).

A open-concept planted aquaria (densely planted with lotsa floating
water-lettuces) inhabited with killies is kinda appealing.  I'm aware
that they are jumpers... *BUT*  if the tank is not
filled to the brim, how high can killies jump (so water level can be
reduced accordingly)?

Cheers,
Ronnie
