Info
A new species of dwarfgoby, Eviota flaviarma, n. sp., is described from Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea and also occurs in the Solomon Islands. The new species is characterized by a complete cephalic sensory-canal pattern (pattern 1), a dorsal/anal fin-ray formula of 8/8, 3–5 branched pectoral-fin rays, no fifth pelvic-fin ray, the first dorsal fin not filamentous, a pear-shaped male urogenital papillae, no dark occipital or nape markings, two dark postanal spots above the anal-fin base, a yellow spot on the upper pectoral-fin base with the entire base peppered with melanophores, a dark internal spot on the caudal peduncle over the preural centrum centered on and above the vertebral column, a black first dorsal fin divided by a thin pale band, and a dark or black anal fin. The new species is closely allied to E. winterbottomi and E. algida.

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!
