are firefish known to be jumpers?

yes

Yes, when they are frightened they will either dart into the rockwork or jump. I had 4 of them and one was always chased and finally jumped.

 

[Sk8r]

Yes. If they think they are chased or threatened, or sometimes if the lights do something crazy, they may jump. It's an escape technique that works in the wild.

I have lost several by jumping, even with egg crate on the tank!

 

[jasutton]

what fish (for a nano) arent jumpers?

 

[jcgso]

Any of the smaller gobies would work. I have a geen clown, green banded and red striped in my 10 gallon. Neons would be good too.

my clowns never jump, but they do find their way into my sump

Yeah, I was surprised, since they always stayed close to their anemone.
