I have a 140g with eurobracing and our Clown Fairy Wrasse jumped onto the hardwood floor. (height approx 6 feet+)....he lived..but those are lucky jumps. I now have a larger light that covers pretty much all the area of the eurobracing except a small area where my autofeeder is. You can cover the top with black egg crate material.....just don't get it too close to the hot lights! LOL


If you are getting a wrasse check out the one we have.....he is really cool...but I swear there are hundreds of varieties.....Just watch some eat shrimp and snails!!.. Also don't always believe your LFS.....do some research on Canreef and/or the internet. You will learn who to trust over time. have fun!

I'm sorry to say, but the store is pulling your leg. I have euro bracing and a top, and when I was cleaning my tank with the top off, I lost a wrasse to jumping.

I agree with all the others-- wrasses jump. period. I have lost about four over the years, even with tank tops almost entirely covered. I lost a firefish that got out through the 1.5 inch by 3 inch hole at the front of the otherwise completely covered euro-braced tank, that I keep open for ease of feeding!
