Dumb fish!

Of the four fish I've had jump two of them were wrasses. Fortunately the second wrasse and one of the other fish to jump both landed in the sump so no harm was done. Even if you don't want to put netting over top of your tank do you at least have a canopy or crown around it to help deflect jumpers back into the water?

I do have a 7" canopy around the front and sides. I'm thinking I should try to add some sort of blocker along the back. Shouldn't be too hard but the tank is pretty close to the wall so there isn't a lot of room to work with. Some sort of plank of wood should fit back there though and work, I think.
