so i was trying to fix the flow pump today and my christmas wrase literally jumped out of the tank smashed into the light and dropped back into the tank

what the hell! :shock:

he did that a few more times but not as extreme

my hand wasn't even in the water

i think my fish is a spaz... im worried one day its gonna flip right out of the tank! should i get some sort of cover for the top of the tank? and will that help with evaporation?
 
All wrasses are jumpers, it's just something they do. I wouldn't use a solid cover like glass or plexiglass, they'll block light, add heat to your tank, and restrict oxygen exchange. Instead I'd use a screen material and build a cover for your tank using that.
 
Here ya go! Hope this helps!!
