All fish can jump.

All tanks can have a cover.

I feel a responsibility to the animals in my care and would never have an uncovered aquarium. Ever.

I have tight cover lid on my tank and my overflow. Fish cannot jump out of my tank unless I remove the cover for feeding or maintainance.
Wrasses with their torpedoes shape and power can jump high and long distances. They also can hit the top with such force that they really can injur themselves. Mesh top is highly recommended rather than anything hard and not given when the head of the wrasse crash into it.
Yes! And that last line is very important IMO. A fish can actually injure themselves in a hard top. Mesh is definitely best!
