Der Blindgrundel ist eine Fischart aus der Familie der Grundeln und die einzige Art der Gattung Typhlogobius. Sie ist an den Küsten Südkaliforniens in den Vereinigten Staaten und Baja California in Mexiko beheimatet, wo sie häufig in den Höhlen von Garnelen der Gattung Callianassa lebt.

Das erwachsene Tier ist völlig blind und weist keine Pigmentierung auf. Jungtiere verfügen noch über rudimentäre Augen, die ihm helfen, die Garnelenhöhlen zu finden.

Die Grundel ist Wirt für folgenden Parasiten:

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!
