hawkfish, jawfish, gobies, cleaner shrimp.

Certain wrasses (like 6-line or fairy) have a reputation for jumping, as well.

If you want to keep an 'open top', just use some eggcrate material as a makeshift cover. I have a jawfish & flamehawk, and both remain in my tank... so far.

All fish can jump, and will jump. If you plan on keeping fish it is best you prepare a netting for the open top area of your aquarium. There is nothing more horrible than losing an expensive, or a fish you have had for years.

Many are more than capable but fairy wrasses are the worst. Seahorses are the only ones you don't need to worry about.
