Trimma fangi Winterbottom & Chen, 2004
Fang's pygmy goby
Inhabits outer reef caves and crevices in 5-20 m
Reference:
Winterbottom, R. and I.-S. Chen, 2004. Two new species of Trimma (Teleostei: Gobiidae) from the western Pacific Ocean. Raffles Bull. Zool. 11(Sup.):103-106.
Classification:: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopterygii (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Gobiidae (Family) > Gobiinae (Subfamily) > Trimma (Genus)
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!
