Typical jumpers are gobies, blennies, tilefish, wrasse and triggers. If the aquarium is pitch black with the morning light coming on suddenly, it will cause fish to jump. Commercial holding systems use night lights and gradually introduce light in the morning.
It's usually the first week when fish jump, so a temporary eggcrate top is a good idea for the first week. A eurobrace is usually enough to keep fish in the tank so they are a good investment. A eurobrace also stops splashing when you clean the tank.
