Allen, 2015
Very special thanky for the first photo of Acentrogobius violaris to Dr. Gerry R. Allen from Australia.
This new goby is described from mud-bottom habitat in the vicinity of Alotau, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guineavin 2015.
Acentrogobius vanderloosi is described on the basis of three specimens, 14.9–30.1 and were collected/observed at depths from 15–18 meters.
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopteri (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Gobioidei (Suborder) > Gobiidae (Family) > Gobiinae (Subfamily) > Acentrogobius (Genus) > Violaris (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!
