Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 30 gallons

• Special requirements: Requires a sand bed of at least 3-4 inches for burrow construction, ample live rock for additional hiding spots, and a stable, mature reef aquarium environment. A tight-fitting lid is recommended as gobies can jump.
