Wrasse no sand + Jumping

[marinetank_800]

Hi experts,

Could you pls. suggest which all wrasses do not require sand bed & won't jump off the tank.

Fairy (Cirrhilabrus), flasher (Paracheilinus?) and lined (Pseudocheilinus?) are among the wrasse families that sleep in rocks rather than in sand, but I don't know of any wrasse that doesn't come with a jump warning!

~Bruce, not really an expert, just a guy who likes wrasses.

Good answer.

IMO, the Haliocheres sp. are the prettiest. But they do require sand.

Not an expert also... May have to get Hunter(Evolved), he's the wrasse expert.

More fish jump than you think, even ones you would not expect; so I think it's a good idea to have a screen cover. If it's a small tank check out the possum wrasses; a large tank how about a harlequin tusk.
