    I've never had one make it past a day, 3 of them have jumped out to become fish chips, I now buy dragon gobies, a.k.a. brown barred goby

    I had one in both my reefs and never really had an issue with them jumping. Sadly though one night my brothers cat decided it want to see if it could catch stuff in the tank and scared him well he was cat food and the cat was well banished from the family room for life. I did replace the goby and he did very well. sadly I had to sell off my tank contents because of moving but I am dying to restart a new tank here in MA.
