Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!

Husbandry know-how of owners

Halten sich gern in Gesellschaft von Artgenossen auf. Auch im Händlerbecken saßen oft mehrere Tiere zusammen. Mit genügend Algen im Becken und vorsichtiger Eingewöhnung keine Probleme. Sehr vorsichtige Tiere die nicht einmal Korallenableger umwerfen.
