Any way to keep goby from jumping ship?

[tkenm377]

I have a 30L and had a diamond goby in there for about 3 days before he managed to escape. I would really love to have one because they do such a great job at keeping the sand clean, but it just seems like every time I get one they manage to escape. I have a hood on the tank so the only place it could get out would be the back... Is there any way I can get one and not have it jump to its death??

anyway to put a piece of eggcrate or maybe even a mesh material?

Edit: plastic screen?

Get some of that eggcrate that they use for office lighting and HVAC duct openings. You can find it at Home Depot or Lowes. It's like $10 for a 4'x2' white plastic grid panel.

Just staple it to the back of the canopy??
