my gourami jumps clean out of the water when i feed him, is this normal??

I dont think that a gourami is a brackish fish and the salt in the water could be irritating his scales and slime coat. I this in a different tank than the one you have listed. If I am wrong someone with more knowledge will be along to give you better advice. They will want to know all of the water parameters of the tank amonia, nitrites, nitrates, ph, etc.

this is a different aquarium from the brackish water, it is fresh

Maybe he is just a jumper some fish are known to jump out of their tanks or maybe he is just having fun trying to splash you.

I have 2 golden gouramis and they are GREEDY! They have jumped when eating.They have always been this way.It could be that they are like mine....GREEDY.With my experience it's fine as long as they can't jump out of the tank.
