Ecsenius aroni Springer, 1971

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

am 07.05.11#1
Hi,

pflege ihn nun seit ca. 4 Monaten in 130l. Sitzt fast immer in der Pilzlederkoralle (siehe Foto). Sehr tolles Schwimmverhalten und nicht so hektisch wie der bicolor. Frisst bei mir Flocken und Artemia, sogar Mysis schnappt er sich und bearbeitet sie so lange bis es passt.
Einfach einer meiner Lieblinge!
