I have never ran a glass top on mine and have only had one loss (a longnose hawkfish)but that was on my old tank. Since this one is drilled I have about an inch gap between the top of the tank and the water line. What size tank do you have and is it drilled? If the water line is very close to the top then it could cause them to jump easier.
It is a 46 bowfront, not drilled. I do have about an inch of space though. I am currently looking for a 90 or so gallon. Just wanted to know if it normal not to use a top. Maybe the clown had a ride on my hand when I jerked it out. I don't know why it scares me, just don't expect it. Glad I saw him on the floor, since I didn't even know he came out.
