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 Tier, leider sehr scheu und zurückhaltend. Lässt sich selbst von Mandarinfischen stören. Die Sechsstreifen-Lippfische unterdrücken ihn derart, dass er nur zum Fressen unter einem Stein, den er als Rückzugsort aufsucht, hervor kommt. Ob das an der Einzelhaltung liegt oder daran, dass er sich einfach nicht durchsetzen kann, ist fraglich. Bitte nur in ruhige Becken setzen, ich empfehle die Haltung im Artenbecken.
