Flathead Goby Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Flathead Goby in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 50 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept with similarly sized, robust fish that can tolerate brackish conditions if applicable. Can be territorial, especially towards conspecifics.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-filtered tank with plenty of hiding spots (rocks, caves, driftwood). Substrate should be sand or fine gravel to prevent injury to their delicate mouths. Can tolerate a wide range of salinities, from pure freshwater to full marine, but acclimation should be gradual if changing salinity significantly.
