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!

Der Coris aygula räumt das Aquarium um und wächst ziemlich schnell.

Hallo Wiggli,

die Größe stimmt schon. Eher ist die Anzahl der Liter falsch. Da dieser Fisch in kein Aquarium gehört. Das gezeigte Exemplar ist ein Jungtier im juv. Stadium. Sub- Adulte Fische sind gräulich-Grün, adulte über einen Meter groß und haben einen Buckel auf den Kopf.
