I just got home to find my new black durgeon trigger behind my tank, it jumped out while I was gone. I will never get another trigger ever again.
I am very mad right now

Sorry!
Maybe he didn't like Christmas?
Can't you devise a cover for your tank that lets in the light and keeps thr fish in? I have wrasses and they too like to surf out of the tank.

I have a canopy on it with my lights but the back is the only thing that's open.

Pieces of eggcrate work great for me! It's cheap and very easy to cut around any obstructions and doesn't raise temp but still allows for gas exchange.

Odd, Triggers aren't really known as "jumpers"....You said he is new, don't suppose somebody chased him, such as your Passer Angel do you?
No I don't have the passer any more because I had a battle with ich, so there was no fish in there to chase it.

Any fish can jump so if you have an opening in your tank you shouldn't keep any fish not just triggers
Why would you say that, many people have opening in their tank and they have fish. I just have bad luck with triggers I guess, none of my other fish jumped when I had them.

Triggers are funny. My 9" male crosshatch jumped out of my tank with a hood and egg crate.

Yes I will be covering the back up as soon as I can, because I don't want this to happen again. Thanks for everyone comments, I really appreciated and I will be giving up dates as soon as I decide what fish to put in there.

every now and then, my triggers get a really FAST swimming start and try to leap out? they hit the plexi on top which is LOUD when they do it, very interesting to watch.

Eh, if I was having that much bad luck, I would definately go ahead and get some egg crate.
