Info

(Vinciguerra, 1883)

Occurs in caves and other dimly lit biotopes. Active during daytime. Feeds mainly on small sessile invertebrates and algae, to a lesser extent on harpacticoids


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!
