Nahhhh, fish jump all the time. Just keep an eye on the tail and if it starts getting red streaks, white spots, or rotting off, then you need to treat it. I have koi, don't know much about plattys though.

Ammonia or Chlorine poisoning is what caused them to jump out. Probably the bowl is too small. Use Ammolock or Amquel to ease things. Read the article of mine:

I don't think so, because I seem to remember that we had fish with damaged tails before. I don't remember if the tail grows back though.

Yes but its because you have them in a tiny fish bowl.
