Yeah my espei have made a couple of leaps, but only in stressful situations where they were either in a bucket, or being moved. On the other hand, both tanks I've had them in have had full coverage hoods

thats my house Almostawesome...nice isn't it.

as for the Cherries, you'll have to get a 2 females to 1 male, as the males get a little scrappy.

Thank you dude, how many overall would be maximum for my tank?

with nothing else in there you could get 12-15.

I'd go for 6 males and 9 females though. The males are the colourful ones. They show off to each other rather than to females. Another fish to consider would be Serpae Tetra's. If kept alone and in a group of 10 then they would equal anything we have mentioned and you wouldn't have to worry about them battering any tankmates.

Cherries are also good algae eater, so you also get a bonus there.

an added bonus indeed, would they be ok with cherry shrimp??
