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 habe das Tier nun etwa 3 Jahre und kenne es 4 Jahre, wächst nicht weiter und frisst fast alles, was ihr vor die Nase gehalten wird.
Jagt auch lebende Garnelen.

Im laufe der Zeit habe ich alle im Boden schlafenden Lippfische eingebüßt, die holt sie, wenn sie Hunger bekommt.

Lt. Marco Lichtenberger handelt es sich bei meinem Tier um eine Gymnothorax richardsoni, das andere Bild ist falsch.
