Ginsburg, 1938
Very special thanks for the first photo of Chriolepis zebra to Dr. Ross Robertson, Australia, he has taken this picture at Mexico.
The Gecko goby is restricted (endemic) to the Gulf of California, but is relatively common throughout its range in suitable habitat in a depthrange of 2 to 30 meters.
Chriolepis zebra lives in rubble-sandy substrates on rocky reefs.

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!
