Info

Trimma tevegae Cohen & Davis, 1969

Its easy to keep in nano reef tank.

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!

Husbandry know-how of owners

vor 4 Tage#2
Schöne Tiere die gerne in einer lockeren Gruppe, dchräg schwimmend, zusammenstehen. Ich pflege 5 Stück jetzt seit einem Jahr in einem 600l Becken, mit anderen ruhigen, eher kleineren Fischen. Tatsächlich sehr schreckhaft.
Ich würde Sie aber nicht nocheinmal kaufen. Extrem transportempfindlich. Der Händler hatte eine große Menge an Ausfällen und auch mir sind dann vom Händler zu mir nach Hause, 1/3 vor Transportstress gestorben.

ich kann das obige beschriebene nur bestätigen.
Auffallend ist die senkrechte Schwimmweise !!!
sehr schreckhaft.
