Does anyone know where I can get 1/8 inch black mesh netting? I've had a helfrichi firefish and a yasha goby jump through my 1/4 mesh top. I know BRS has clear 1/8 inch netting, but I would like to get it in black.
 
Quick search found these, may or may not work for you:


With that said, I am quite shocked to hear that fish were able to jump through 1/4 inch mesh. I am looking at mesh that I bought that is 1/4 inch and those holes are dang tiny, like fish would have to be really small baby to jump through it.

One that I bought (it is white though) : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Aquarium-T...acement-72-x36-1-4x1-4-Free-Ship/252578640333

I got my mesh from joanns. It's a material called tulle. Gonna be way cheaper than any pet specific mesh and is commonly used
 
Thank you both!

My replacement yasha goby also jumped twice! But fortunately made it into the overflow both times.
 
Black tulle, like what they use for bridal veils, is what I use on some of my tanks. As a bonus, it's rather stretchy so fish hitting it just kind of bounce off of it rather than smashing into it. Larger fish can rip it though..

Ph, I can vouch. I had a TIGHT 1/4” screen top and a Helfrichi firefish went right through.
