Rimless tank safe fish list?

[dcmander]

With the newest fad of having a rimless tank, what fish can absolutely not be kept in a rimless, no top tank?

I know ALL fish CAN jump....but let's be real. I would say all angels and tangs are pretty much safe from jumping. Mandarin's are probably safe also.

Probably all jawfish and most gobies would not work with a rimless tank....are there ANY wrasses that are safe from jumping?

My large blue hippo tang jumps up againdt the canopy often! Splashes loys of water out of the tank!

High risk Jumpers:

Jawfish
Gobies especially Dartfish
Tilefish
Fairy Wrasses
Flasher Wrasses
Other Wrasses
Eels and Octopus (No jumpers but will climb out)

Moderate risk:

Some triggers (mainly the Planktivores)
Anthias
Blennies
Clownfish
Damselfish

Low Risk:

Angelfish
Surgeonfish
Butteflyfish
Frogfish
Scorpionfish
Chromis
Cardinalfish
Soldierfish
Basslets
Rabbitfish
Other triggers

I am sure I am forgetting some groups.
Obviously there will be exceptions to the rule. A fish that is stressed or being harrassed will be more prone to jump.

ive had juvi dragon wrasse in open tanks. i would however avoid all wrasse to be safe.

yellow wrasses jump all the time so i wouldnt put one of those in a rimless

i have a blenny,clown,angel,wrasse,and 2 anthias in my rimless.i was worried about the anthias and wrasse jumping out but so far so good.i do think you run a higher risk with rimless tanks and just have to be prepared for possible losses.
