Do I understand you correctly that the fish jumped out of the tank?

[LuckySingh]

Yup she jumped out...I hve always had warrase in all of my tanks dnt know what might hve happened...

Wrasses are known jumpers... it sucks when your favorite fish goes carpet surfing. I feel your pain...

[Zack]

before i started my saltwater tank i had a large mouth bass that was about 15 inches long. never had a lid on it the whole time i had it. the night before i was buying a large tank for it, the bass jumped out and was found dead. man i was dissapointed, i do feel your pain.

[Europhyllia]

Sorry about that. If you relaly like that kind of fish perhaps you could consider a mesh top?

[txmike]

I feel your pain 2 weeks ago my scissortail took a dive .

Everyone I've ever had did the same thing. Sometimes it only took days, sometimes years.

[LuckySingh]

kinda sad the very 1st fish i got when i step into saltwater and has:confused::confused: been through three different tanks..

[CoryDude]

I do feel your pain. They are really active and inquisitive fish. A six-line was my very first fish in my 20 gallon tank years ago.

I've had better luck with fairy wrasses, so you may want to look at a solar, scott's, blue-head, or other similar type. They don't seem to be as prone to jumping as the flashers and sixlines. But, you still may want to look into a mesh or egg-crate top for your tank if you plan on keeping them.
