Will any of these jump out?? Im planning on keeping the tank open.
 
Should be alright... the only ones that might would be the pseudo or the gramma, but i dont think you'll have a problem... what size tank btw?

The bicolor dottyback might jump - we've had lots jump at work, they get spooked when someone nets another fish out of the tank and their response is to go straight up... and out onto the floor.

If you're planning on keeping those fish together, you might want to consider a different dottyback - bicolors and royal grammas look very similar and may fight.

I was planning the royal gramma over the dotty back anyways as it has a bit more colour.

Thanks Blinky!!

Either 100 gallon or 72. ot sure yet, as im trying to see what i get for 72. If i don't get much, it's gona be the 72 i do the reef on!!
 
Here's a 4 year old female ocellaris clown that decided to explore the living room one day. After that, the tank is always covered with eggcrate.

OHHHHHHH Mo you need to enter her in the FISH OLYMPICS(HEHEHE(
 
my ocellaris clown also jumped out last month..... luckily i walked up right after, because he was a flippin' on the carpet still. i picked him up n threw him back in, and he made it!! has never been healthier!! at least he has a cool story to tell all his buds lol. anyways, safe to say my tank is now covered!! ;)
 
I consider ALL fish to be potential jumpers. I had a trigger that managed to jump twice--once into a neighboring tank, once into the overflow.
