So yesterday as I introduced some new frags my solar fairy wrasse jumped out of my tank and landed on the floor. I was fortunate enough to be able to witness this and save the fish. Does anyone have any experience with this particular wrasse?
We’ve got a jumper
- Thread starter Jeremey’s reef
- Start date
Most wrasses are jumpers
I talked to @ActiveAngel about getting more fish and wrasses came up. He told me that basically fish that are torpedo shaped can be jumpers. But all fish can be jumpers if spooked. I had a goby jump from my old 40gal AIO. But unfortunately it was at night and didn't find him until it was to late.
Exactly @ZapataInc and @hiimsean. To echo my own advice: Torpedo-shaped fish are likely to jump (including wrasses, gobies, dartfish), but all fish can jump on occasion. And it only takes one-fish one-jump to land out of water.
Just expect torpedos to jump often.

I have two wrasse fish a yellow coris and the solar fairy, they have both been in the tank for several months. I have seen the yellow coris being a butthole towards the solar fairy so my guess is that this is what caused him to jump
Add all fish will jump its a matter of time, some just don't like you in there space!!
Heck, my ruby red dragonette jumped and it’s a fish not known to be a jumper
Canopy helps out a lot as well.
I would love to get a canopy, wish I could build it myself but I’m not quite as awesome as some others on here when it comes to carpentry and wood work
I know a guy that does great work for pretty cheap.
Cool i will keep that in mind just not the right time financially as of nowv
