Wrasse Jumping question

ive got two wrasses in my tank none of them have ever tried to jump, i want to take my lid off buti just dont want to risk it. I have an eggcrate lid with screendoor material ontop. With the screen door material over the eggcrate there is no possible way that either wrasses can jump. But i want to take it off, would the wrasses be able to fit through the holes of the eggcrate? My McCoskers is probably only 2 inches and my melanurus 3-4 and i know theres no way for him to fit through so im just worried about the McCoskers. You think i should be ok with just the eggcrate?

 

OMG that is so crazy! LOL fish will really jump out.... I had no idea...I'm going to get my tank and setup tomorrow. I will keep this in mind when I finally start adding fish. Hope yours stay in the water.

 

yea a lot of fish are known to go carpet surfing. if you get a lid just make sure you dont get a glass lid

 

My flasher never tried to jump either. I think the chances of your flasher making it through the egg crate are pretty slim, so I wouldn't worry about it.

 

yea mine is more of a diver than a jumper like ive seen him go up to the surface but never acted like he was going to jump soi can finally take off that annoying window screen, i mainly had it for the firefish cause he was soo tiny

 

it would take a perfect jump for the mccoskers to make it through. could happens, chances are slim. one way around it , is to get it really, really fat. so it might only get suck. lol

 

so i just took the netting off i am really amazed on how much of a difference there is that thing blocked a lot of light, not im tempted to take the eggcrate off

 

lets hope that wont happen and im for a fat fish lol

 

You should make a mesh lid like I have. It blocks practically no light and looks nice.
