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!

ich Pflege diese Muräne seit mehreren Jahren.Sie ist derzeit 1m lang und sehr aggressiv, besonders an den Fütterungstagen.Sie sollte ausschließlich von sehr erfahrenen Aquarianern in Spezialbecken gepflegt werden.
