EDIT: Like ponokareefer said, a wrasse will jump out of there in no time. Two weeks ago I lost my banana wrasse when it jumped out of my 140gal frag tank which had an open top.

Ya, I've played the wrasse game before. It's a bit like roullette. I've been debating having a go with a wrasse again knowing that I might be taking a chance.

I've been playing this game long enough that I know which fish are jumpers, which are gonna destroy everything in my tank, etc. I really am wanting to try something different this time around and I don't mind taking a bit of a risk or trying harder species. I appreciate the suggestions of clowns and six-line wrasses but, without sounding like a jerk: been there, done that. Those were my beginner fish.

I've been debating taking a crack at an angel tank similar to John Coppolino's tank, but with the dwarf species: flame, potters, coral beauty, bicolour, etc... I know it'll be a challenge but I've got some tricks up my sleeve.

or trying out some of the smaller anthias...

or having another go at a butterfly... maybe a Copperbanded (HERE COME CBB POLICE!!!)

Or as cathy said, try a small tang...

I'm not sure if you are into cardinals, but bangaii's might be something interesting.

No offense on the clowns.
