Fish considerations -- No jumpers

[ps2cho]

My DT is a 30x31x15 shallow square -- 60G in the DT and a 20L sump -- 70g total volume.

Current inhabitants:
1 kole tang
2 black&white clowns
1 royal gramma
1 cleaner shrimp

The royal gramma just hides in the rocks, and the clowns take a corner of the tank so there is still plenty of "space" -- question is just bioload.
I should have no problems with 1 or 2 more fish. I was considering a few of the smaller anthias, but I am not sure if their bioload will be too much since they like to eat constantly.
No obvious jumpers since its rimless and I have no top and have no plans for one.

Any recommendations of something I should consider? Or even a school of smaller fish?

Not much to add except you already have known jumpers in your tank. Clowns can and will jump :(

So can grammas and bristletooth tangs. Even bottom dwellars can (diamond goby is a prolific jumper....as I found out the hard way)

I also have a 60G tank and was against a top...until I lost a couple of "non-jumping" fish. I finally broke down and got the screen tops from BRS and couldn't be happier. I was tired of all the fish restrictions.....it is hard enough to stock a smaller tank without adding jumpers to the list of fish not allowed. I added my Wrasse shortly after :-)

do you have a photo of the screen top and how does it stay on?
Maybe I will consider it if it looks ok.

All fish have the potential to jump.

Unfortunately I am at work now but I will take a picture tonight and post it. I looks extremely professional. Like you, I was worried about it looking sloppy. The BRS kit is kind of expensive for what you get though. I would recommend just buying the clear screen from them and the rest of the parts from Home Depot.
