Mario the super fish

Yesterday, I placed Mario in a cup (not filled to the rim with water, actually not even close). Sweet Pea and I cleaned out his fish bowl. While cleaning the rocks, I was rinsing them off and placing them back into the bowl. I turned at one point to put rocks in the bowl and notice Mario laying on the counter top. It appears that Mario is a bit of a stunt fish and jumped out of the cup. I quickly scooped him up and put him back into the cup (he did survive). However, we did not fill his bowl up quite as high as it had been. I guess he is just trying to compete with the greatest fish ever (my previous fish, Brandie)!
