Sometimes you just end up with a b@st@rd fish
Agreed many fish are hit & miss and some are just plain bad. Wrasses are no exception to this rule. I do think it is important to have plenty of swimming room and not just at the top. In my tank I have a lot of space for the wrasses to swim in the lower regions. In my experience the wrasses that like to hang near the top area of the tank are the most likely jumpers. In the year I've had my 400 going I have had only one wrasse jump and it was a flasher who always hung out in open water in the top 1/3 of the tank.
