    if you let them get too large, detrus can settle on the inside branches from lack of flow and they die from the inside out

    I wouldn't risk it. I had a relatively large adult male mccoskers jump through egg crate it was over 2" long. I never saw it try and jump but one day it wasn't in the tank anymore and was on the floor dead.
