Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Lythrypnus dalli are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Lythrypnus dalli, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Lythrypnus dalli, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

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!

Habe diese Grundel aus Unwissenheit gekauft.
Nach ca. 8 Wochen ist sie von einem Tag auf den anderen Verschwunden. Aus Futtermangel kann das bei mir nicht sein. Sie hatte auch immer aktiv gefressen mit den anderen. Denke schon dass das mit der Temperatur zusammen liegt.
Wäre interessant zu Wissen ob diese Art bei meinen 2 Vorschreibern länger gelebt haben oder evt. noch Leben.
Von der Farbe und Zeichnung her ein absoluter eyecatcher.
Ich denke aber man sollte allgemein solche Tiere in entsprechenden Becken halten. Daher Schwierigkeitsgrad "erfahrenen Aquarianern vorbehalten"

Wahnsinnig schöne Grundel, gut mit kleinen/langsamen Fischen zu halten.

Nach anfänglicher Scheu ist sie jetzt immer zu sehen, sie nimmt jedes Futter an das man bietet.
