Orange Spotted Goby (Amblyeleotris guttata)

Notes: The Orange Spotted Goby makes an excellent "Nano Fish" and does well in any peaceful reef aquarium. It will pair with the nearly blind alpheid shrimp. This unique symbiotic relationship is quite interesting to observe. The goby serves as lookout while the nearly blind shrimp keeps their burrow dug out and tidy. They will get along well with other shrimp gobies. Do not keep with hawkfish, sand perches, or aggressive dottybacks which may pick on it. This goby is best added before larger more aggressive gobies. Offer a varied diet of carnivore preparations including mysis shrimp and brine shrimp.
