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!

Wunderschönes friedliches Tier, welches keinerlei Stress im Becken macht. Weicht eher zurück.

Kann anfangs Probleme mit Futteraufnahme haben, meiner hat zu Glück gleich alles genommen.

Springschutz dringend notwendig!
