I had three Front offspring in a breeder net hanging in a 75G tank. Two days later, the biggest (3/4" - male I assume) and one of the smaller ones (1/2" - female) managed to escape. I knew they were jumpers as they jumped out of a smaller, clear plastic, floating breeder tank when they were days old (just 1/3"). I didn't think they could clear the rim of the net breeder tank; I was wrong.

So far, they are doing fine. The biggest fish in the tank is a 4" Blood Parrot. The rest of the tank mates are smaller and non-aggressive.

Below is a picture of the female, who hides under the Ancient Ruins ornament (look closely for her under the corner). The big boy (all 3/4" of him), is swimming around like he owns the tank.

Just an educated guess judging by the size.
