Info
Very special thanks for the first photo of Hypleurochilus fissicornis to Dr. Jean-Christophe Joyeux, Brazil!!
Hypleurochilus fissicornis is a resident species of the intertidal and subtidal zones, where this species breeds in rocky intertidal areas, and exhibits low fecundity with benthic eggs and parental care.
The spawning season takes place between December and April.
Synonyms:
Blennius fissicornis Quoy & Gaimard, 1824
Blennius fucorum Valenciennes, 1836
Blennius oceanicus Valenciennes, 1836
Parablennius fucorum (Valenciennes, 1836)
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!
