Can a diamond goby jump over a 10 inch canopy?

[Chris86]

i want to get one of these guys. I know they are jumpers. What do you think?

I've seen them shoot from the bottom and up, like a bullet.
Can you get something like the Bulk Reef Supply screen top to play it safe?

African or European? Laden or unladen?

Do you have any idea how much I’d have to increase th intensity on my LEDs to compensate for the screen?

Not much, if any at all

I'd think the 1/4" netting would do the job, unless you bought a tiny bugger.

Both the 1/4" and the 1'8" mesh reduce light by less than 5% -- much less as I recall. Consider it a non-factor and just listen to the corals to see where to adjust.

Mine has literally jumped 2 feet out of the water like a dang torpedo. Scared the pee out of me. Lets just say I've got a top now

Yeah:
Lost the first one that I had. It was stiff as a board when I found him on the carpet.
Live and learn.. ;Writing

Certainly can, I have seen mine jump out of the water and hit the ceiling lol

 

[GoldeneyeRet]

Can and likely will.

 

[Livinlocal]

Can and likely will.

I can definitely second this when you say likely will. They are probably the most notorious fish for jumping out of the tank

Mine found a hole less than 10mm on the side of my hob filter for my qt today. I’m not happy

Did you lose him

Unfortunately yes,

Probably around 5%. The more annoying thing about the BRS screen is that it reflects that light back into the room (unless you have an enclosed canopy). A few years ago I searched for a better screen material. After a couple of false starts, I ended up finding 1/4" cicada netting that was vastly superior.

 

[GoVols]

Unfortunately yes,

;Sorry

I lost 2 : Black Hi-Fin and Randall's. Both jumped and I have a 1/8 screen. But they managed to find gap between the glass and the screen. We do everything we can, but sometimes they find a way.
