I do. The first fish I ever bought were two boesmani rainbows. I have kept them in a variety of set-ups, and several were open-topped. I have not lost any except to old age. They never exhibited any behavior that would make them seem like jumpers, though at feeding time they are very aggressive and sometimes break the surface.

I would feel no worries keeping them in a topless tank.
