It could work. Depending on what kinda fish you get. Small ones might make it straight through.

I was thinking the same thing, but if small ones do get through they should be able to get back through too. I think the plus side is that it might not interfere with lighting

Both my firefish recently jumped through the net. I found them next morning stiff on the net.

Back to the drawing board I guess- at least as far as smaller fish go- still wonder how it is as far as lighting for larger fish

Brs sells corner clips by neat aquatics that allows the frame of the top to sit inside the rimless tank

No problem lighting wise. I was surprised that after 7 months they actually fit through the net as the holes are pretty small.

Not many fish are that slender and are jumpers- I'm more concerned about lighting- glass toppers are no good, egg crate seems to affect par/ disbursement, so this might be an alternative, btw, hoping you're felling better

Curious though, my firefish aren't jumpers unless chased- I try to keep stress free tanks- move or rehome when needed

I assume the lights coming on in the morning or something chased them.

I start out just blues in the am and then ramp up- too bad though, I like firefish- mine would spend most time hiding until I got the pain in the ass out of the tank

I have blues on all day/night in the back using a strip. Then turn over blues on at 8 and whites at 10.
