Fish that don't jump.

[Aframereef]

Hi i have a 80G 28x28x24 infinity overflow tank. Looking for fish recommendations that won't jump. I currently have 2 purple tangs and a sailfin tank who will out grow this tank. Clown fish, royal gramma. The tank primarily has just my 24 inch gigas clam and a few coral near or on the bottom. These fish have done well and rare that they splash. Sailfin will chase the other tangs. The clown lost his mate so another one would be a good addition. The royal gramma rarely comes above 1/2 tank height.

What would you recommend?

A Lid.

Get a mesh net lid ontop of the tank, whilst not all fish may jump, all fish have the potential to. I’ve had Tangs, Foxfaces, Butterflies, Clowns all jump out of coral trays in the past. Yes, once settled their likelihood of jumping becomes lower, but it is never 0.

The only fish that wont jump are likely seahorses. End of list. Everything else is a risk

As noted by all posters, basically any fish can and will jump. There is not “safe list”. Some are more prone than others, but you can’t count on that in the reverse to narrow to what is “safe”.

Do a DIY mesh lid as I did. Used a basic screen door kit from the hardware store, and it wasn't expensive to make
