ya might wanna reconsider wrasses until you get the canopy sitcheeashun squared away....many of them are jumpers ! Would hate for you to have to come upon another suicide scene like this one.

My sixline of about 1 year jumped on me about a month ago. He got through the eggcrate even.
I've replaced him with the world's shyest orange spot goby. Sad when it happens though

Sad to see it happen but it does... I love the sixline wrasse but they are very active fish.
I know my Sunshine Wrasse use to goto the top and dive to the bottom. I am sure if I didn't have the canopy he would have went out in a heartbeat |

Get out the crime scene tape and give me a chalk outline of the deceased!
Actually, sorry about your sixline. I'd get some of that eggcrate and cut it to fit the top of my tank as soon as the hardware store opens. |

I just found my Midas Blenny on the carpet.
It was my favorite fish too.
