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

ein sehr schöner Lippfisch der in seiner Jugend eher unscheinbar ist. voll ausgefärbte Männchen sind prächtig gefärbt. wenn Sie gut gefüttert werden und sich wohl fühlen haben die Männchen einen kräftig gelben Fleck im Nacken. in der Natur sind immer viele Tiere unterschiedlichster Größe zusammen. deshalb ist sicher auch eine Haltung mit mehreren Tieren möglich. ich selbst kann das nur von zwei Tieren bestätigen. Futter wird jedes gern angenommen. sonst ist er im Verhalten wie alle anderen Halichoeres. leider viel zu selten im Handel. Gruß Frank
