Eyre’s Dwarfgoby
Distribution: Known only from Vatu-i-ra Island, Fiji.
Collected over low-relief reef of dead coral and coral rock rubble.
Journal of the Sciencefoundation 2016 Volume 20: A review of the dwarfgobies of Fiji, including descriptions of five new species (Teleostei: Gobiidae: Eviota ) DAVID W. GREENFIELD and JOHN E. RANDALL
Twenty-eight species in the gobiid genus Eviota, five of which are new to science, are recorded from Fijian waters. An illustrated key to the species is provided, and each species is represented by a diagnosis or a description, range, habitat descriptions, and photographs. The five new species are Eviota eyreae, E. mimica, E. richardi , E. teresae, and E. thamani. Four species of uncertain taxonomic status are discussed, i.e.
E. cf. flebilis , E. cf. indica, E. cf. sigillata , and E. cf. specca. Eviota hinanoae is recorded from Fiji for the first time, and two deepwater species, Fiji sp. 1 (from 42–49 m) and Fiji sp. 2 (from 73–79 m), are reported.

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!
