Hi everyone,
My 55 gallon is finished cycling and on Tuesday we added female swordtails to go with the male that was already in there. Both Tuesday and Wednesday night sometime, a new female Swordtail has jumped out the back where the filters are and of course we found them yesterday morning and this morning. I found articles this morning that say they like to jump and can jump through anything they can get their body through. The male Swordtial (Little Momma - named by my 3 year old, she does not care about gender) has never jumped out in the 5 months we have had him.

What is the best way to cover the areas in the back of the tank around the filters and cord for the heater to stop any fish from jumping out?

Thanks a bunch for any help.
