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!

Eines der zutraulichsten Tiere in meinem AQ. Setzt sich auch auf die Hand. Frisst so ziemlich alles und ist anspruchslos. Meistens auf Korallen oder in Algen zu finden. Super Tierchen, kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen, am besten für ruhigere AQ´s.
