I Had a beautiful Hawk fish for about 9 months, he "was" beautiful althou he could be a pain. He would just sit on my corals, making them close up tight, he ate my shrimp. Well sometime friday night i guess he thought he could fly, i found him saturday morning almost 5 ft. away from the end of my 90 gal .--((sad)) but now i can get more shrimp and my corals now stay open, i guess there are reasons for every thing.
I am not sure if i am sad or happy???!!!

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open topped aquarium
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

Sorry to hear bout your loss. Hawkfish are such a fun species to watch! But in my opinion, shrimp are even more fun! And they are interactive! I just learned while feeding my anemone that my fish shrimp will take krill out of my fingers! He seems to get excited now when I feed the anemone, and he almost expects a piece for him too now! lol
Oh, and thanks to TruPerc for getting that darn song stuck in my head! I havn't had that song stuck in my head for a good 10 years, and now that it is, i'm sure it wont leave for a few days.
So thanks alot TruPerc! lol

Yeah, I feel your pain (or not) I have had a few jumpers...what can you do...
Put a lid on the tank
or netting, or eggcrate (unless the fish is really small or really strong)...
It's not example a scientific anomaly...

Like I said, it isn't a scientific anomaly. If you lost that many fish, then it's a sign that you should figure something out before adding more fish. Netting is a good option because no fish can fit through the mesh of a net. Attaching it so it is sturdy is the hard part. Pieces of glass that fit to the tank work as well.
I had a disclaimer there egg crate works if your fish aren't too small (ie all the small fish you listed) or too strong (the ray)...
Why defy me and act as if you proved me wrong? You didn't. And when you asked for more suggestions besides egg crate, you ignored the fact that the post you quoted had other suggestions.

Hey Meowzer,,

They think on the floor with you is a better place to play?

I took what you said out of context and threw it in your face...I thought you would pick up on the chop busting.
Sorry
