Info

Gymnothorax zonipectis Seale, 1906

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!

Bei im Foto oben gezeigter Muräne handelt es sich nicht um eine Weißfleckmuräne (Gymnothorax zonipectis) sondern um eine adulte Weißaugenmuräne (Gymnothorax thyrsoideus).

ich halte 2 ausgewachsene Exemplare,sie sind relativ anspruchslos und sehr attraktive Pfleglinge mit einem hohen Schwimmanteil und großer Neugier während des Tages.
Wie bei allen Muränen muß die Dekoration sehr gut befestigt sein.Ebenfalls ist die Nahrungsaufnahme sehr hoch.
