Info

A very interesting blenny which you can see as juvenile on the photo. With increasing size the colour will change to brown and black. Similar to Salarias to cultivate. A beautiful animal.

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!
