I knew the wrasses were, didn't think the Randalli was a jumper.

Yup, pretty much all gobies, blennies, jawfish and wrasses should come with parachutes

Randalli's are terrible for jumpers.

Cheers,

Chris

Jawfish are sweet shizz though. I prefer the Pearly over the Randalli though. Prettier. Mine have not had any jumping issues (knock on wood). My jawfish are quite entertaining as a trio. You may have issues keeping the 2 Anthias...may be better off to keep 1 or 6+. I'm also thinking the PBT will end up being too big of a fish for a mere 12.5" depth to the tank. That sure is shallow. Based on your stocking outline, I would trade the PBT for another 4 Anthias so you have 1 male and 5 females. Would be a sharp look. I think I would avoid big fish in that tank as they would look bulky since it is so shallow.

Oh ya, the order I would do; Jawfish, Anthias, then the rest doesn't really matter imo. They will all be fairly boisterous.

Like Christy said jawfish are awesome! There are many other types to look at including 'dusky', yellowhead/pearly, bluespot (these are NICE)... I just happen to hear of/see a lot of Randalli jumpers... higher frequency than other types.
