Lid or no lid

[thegrimreefer]

First every one told me not to put a glass top on my tank because the glass will fliter out some of the lightspectrum. Then a few days ago, when my yasha hasha gobie disided to jump out of the tank, everyone tells me I should have had a glass lid on the tank.


So should I get a lid or not? If not does anyone have any tips on keeping gobbies from jumping out?

Thanks
Peace

no top use egg crate for lighting. you can get it at a hardware store or home depot

Glass tops causes problems with O2 exchange creating problems with PH control. I agree with Jerryc the best option is egg crate.

Good Luck

you do not want to completly cover the tank because of the gas exchange as stated above.
