Fish to avoid

Hi Guys

I thought this would be useful, especially since a large number of us like to keep our tanks uncovered. We could all pool our experiences and list finicky fish that are prone to jumping. I will start with 2 of mine:-

1. Fairy Wrasse

2. Skunk Tilefish

P.S. both of the above didn't make it :-(

Hi bro,

From what I'd experienced, most fishes will jump if spooked. Better to have some kind of

mesh over the tank if one wants long term enjoyment.

Recently my Blue striped angel & Flagfin angel both 5 inches landed dead onto my overflow chamber which i fitted with a 10" x 8" wide drip plate even though i already barricated the overflow perimeter with white grating upto 2 inches height.

Now as an extra precaution i covered top of overflow with a grating too.

My other past dead jumpers are Purple/Shunk/Blue head tile fishes, Scott fairy wrasse, Laboute wrasse, Fire/Flame gobies.
