Non jumping fish

[Munch]

Looking to add a few fish to my open top rimless tank. It's 40 gallons with two mated clowns currently. What non-jumpers can anyone recommend?

No fish found. All fish are potential jumpers. To quote one of my favorite LFS, "fish can't read books"

Typically, you don't want to stress out a fish so that they "have" to jump.


My bad, found some http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=eshopps+fish&qpvt=eshopps+fish&FORM=IGRE

Well, I guess, fish not known to jump often. I saw some scissor fin gobys and banded gobys over at AA, but was informed they will likely jump

my bangaii cardinal never jumped, also most centropyge angels would be a good fit.

I've got a mated pair of clowns, a royal gramma, a scopas tang, and a blue spot jaw fish in my 40. Soon as my pods are back, I'll add a mandarin.

I have a sm foxface, banggai cardinal, or blue/green chromis for sale if you're interested in one of them.

Your blue spot has never jumped I had a yellow head jawfish and it was a jumper?

But I have a 29 gal open top, and my sixline wrasse hasn't jumped.

I'm pretty sure a flounder won't jump....unless your putting it in your frying pan! Seriously the only thing that I've had that doesn't jump is my watchman's goby.

Oh yeah she's jumped!! I've caught her 3 times, wifey had to scoop her back in once. But after about a month she's calmed down... Haven't had an incident in a while, now that she's got her cave!

Welcome! Please feel free to create an intro thread and tell us about yourself.

Wrasses are a group that are more prone to jumping. I think it has something to do with their threat response, swim really fast in the least threatening direction, which sometimes happens to be out of the tank.

The key, IMO (which means nothing), is to have a tank full of peacefully cohabiting fishes. Basically no stress=no jumping.
