Info
(Bussing, 1990)
Very special thanks for the first two photos of Tigrigobius nesiotes to Dr. Ross Robertson, Australia.
He has taken the photos at Gorgona Island, Colombia in the Eastern Pacific where the gobi lives in Lives in crevices and deep recesses in the rocks.
This gobi cleans other fishes and even sharks from parasites!
Similar species: Tigrigobius digueti
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopterygii (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Gobiidae (Family) > Gobiinae (Subfamily) > Tigrigobius (Genus) > Tigrigobius nesiotes (Species)
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!
