Info
(Günther, 1880)
This species is endemic on fidji. He is very territorial and agressive against smaller fish. Not easy to keep, might make problems with food.
Plagiotremus laudandus flavus looks very similar (mimikry). Plagiotremus will harm other fishes (eat their slime and skin).
Synonyms:
Meiacanthus ovalauensis (Günther, 1880)
Petroscirtes auratus Seale, 1936
Petroscirtes oualanensis Günther, 1880
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopteri (Class) > Perciformes (Order) > Blennioidei (Suborder) > Blenniidae (Family) > Blenniinae (Subfamily) > Meiacanthus (Genus) > Meiacanthus oualanensis (Species)
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!
