I added a orange diamond goby to my tank yesterday with the knowledge that they are jumpers.

Ok I thought. No problem. I have a TIGHT fitting custom sized Red Sea mesh top on my XXL 750. Should not be an issue.

I woke up to some fish jerky on the top of my tank. The only possible point of escape is where the lid pulls away for the light mounts. The gap is very small. Even then I tried to use some black electrical tape to minimize the opening. I guess not! He was so small in profile that he made it through.

Bummer he was cute.
