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!

Husbandry know-how of owners

Hatte ihn vom Händler dazu geschenkt bekommen, kann auch bestätigen das er zum Körperverhälntniss extrem große Brocken fressen kann.

Er hat so ziemlich alle kleinen Höhlen/Röhren im Nano für sich beansprucht, und ist immer zu sehen.

Streit mit anderen Nanobewohnern (Grundeln) gibt es nicht.

Ich halte ihn in 70l.

150l. find ich zuviel da er wirklich winzig ist.

Sehr gefrässig, brauch mindestens 2-mal täglich Futter, sonst verhungert er. Können extrem große Brocken fressen, u.a auch kleiner Artgenossen.
Sehr seßhaft.
