Info
Haliophis diademus belongs to the family Pseudochromidae (dwarf perch) and the subfamily Congrogadinae (elongated perch relative), from where the name Allbarsch will come.
There is no detailed information on the habitat and ecology of Haliophis diademus, which is endemic to the Gulf of Oman; all that is known is that the fish has been found in the spines of sea urchins (e.g. Diadema).
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!
