Aren't most wrasses jumpers? That would be my big concern: in addition to the size of the little tank I'm planning. A pair (or harem) of bluestripe pipefish would probably do alright in it. I'd like to leave the tank uncovered.

wrasses are def jumpers, but they do a killer job on protecting your investment.

you will def have better luck traing your pipefish in a smaller tank but a harder time keeping it fed if it doesnt eat

Leopard wrasses are less likely to jump. Their natural tendency is to dive for the sand when spooked, not head for the surface.

Live Aquaria indicates 50 gallons or more for the leopard wrasse. Would the two of you say that is correct?
Honestly, I'm looking at about 22/23 gallons (36x12x12) for my little frag/growout tank. Edit: It would wind up plumbed into a much larger system, but that wouldn't happen until the spring at the earliest. |

you could get away with less for a good while but i think they will need bigger than a 50g once they grow to size. my black leopard is maybe 1-2" now if not smaller but he will grow pretty quick and need some more swimming room.
