I have a mystery wrasse, and haven't had any trouble with him jumping, or attempting to jump out of the tank. Beautiful fish.

Get the top covered. Its not if but when it will take a leap of faith.

I had a mystery wrasse for about six hour on Saturday, until my Arabian Pseudochromis killed it. That was a quick $60 down the drain.

my mystery wrasse just jumped out last month after 1.5 years. I've had 4 wrasses jump out of my tank over the years. No more for me.

This is just the input I was looking for! For those of you who have had fish jump, did it happen at night or random?

Going to Lowes tomorrow to get screen supplies, ordered 1/4" mesh from BRS.

You just never know. I've had one in the angled tank for over a year and it never went near the surface. It loves to stay close to the rockwork. I moved it into the return section of my sump with the other livestock, and he seems happy there as well.

Here's a write up on this fish, in case you didn't read it already: http://www.reefaddicts.com/content.p...Mystery-Wrasse

Getting a cover over your tank will help prevent untimely losses. For special moments, you can leave the cover off, but for the rest of the day it might be best to keep it in place.

DUDE! You know the answer and I'm happy that you are going to cover your tank. There is nothing like coming home to your full grown blue morpho tang dried up on the floor. It absolutely sucks. I didn't think it would jump and didn't have my tank covered. That was simply stupid, very stupid. My gut still wrenches everytime I think about it. The 1/4" bird netting is nearly invisble. Go to sleep happy at least once a month thinking that it saved your wrasse's life.

I use the really tiny stuff for repairing screens. I have a closed canopy so I have the back and overflow covered. Its cheep and nothing can squeeze through that stuff.

You guys rock, I decided to make the screen.

I used 1/4" BRS clear netting and it looks decent. Some might say it's sharp but most will frown upon ruining the clean Elos look.

I feel the screen opened some possibilities so I'll be posting some shots and a "dream team" stocking list later.

Thanks again for your input.
