As far as I know, pretty much all wrasses jump.

I've had my sixline in the new tank for a couple weeks. So far it hasn't jumped, but it will shoot really fast towards the surface and plane out really quick like he's afraid of it...

I've had my 6 line 4 years ,never once jumped.....
but i wish i got a mystery instead

 

[Bifferwine]

I don't think sixlines are as likely to jump as the others. The bird wrasse is not reef safe. Not sure about some of the others.

I've got a fairy wrasse. No problems so far...not even a hint of jumping. Generally stay around the bottom 1/2 of the tank. I don't have any type of lid.

If I remember right, the leopard and exquisite type wrasses are usually safe since they bury themselves in the sand when frightened.

i hope so... picking my leopards up this week :D

Well in truthfulness, my Zero Edge is prone to fish jumping because of the large water volume flowing over the sides. I have approx. 7000 gallons per hour flowing in and then over the sides.:shock:

ALL wrasses have the potential to jump.
