fish that are jumpers

[mrtian97]

queation on whether my cover that has square opening of 1/2"x1/2 throughout. I want to put in small/med size blue throat trigger, small percula clown and med filamented wrasse.
I already have 2 tangs and they have not jumped yet. It's a 120 gallon tank

Thanks

I had lost a Photon, Magnificent Fox and several wrasses due to no lid or net on my rimless, it took me over a yr and finally learned the valuable lesson.IMO just go ahead a do a net frame/cover.

If the head fits, the fish fits.

1/2" holes are too large for flasher wrasses.

Agreed! I would go with 1/4" if you can. With fish any and all fish can jump, some are just more likely than others.

There use to be a guy who had a bunch of 1/4" net he was selling here. He might still be selling it.

Bulk reef supply sells a clear mesh, I use that and I've never had a fish jump sense I started using it.

The only problem with a cover is salt creep

Not much salt sticks to the clear mesh as its very thin.

I feel like netting would wreck the look of a rimless
