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 halte das Tier jetzt ca. 3,5 Jahre ohne große Probleme.
Leider wurde am Anfang ein kleiner Leoparden bendessen verschlungen.
Ist aber ein absoluter hingucker im Aquarium.
