Redhead Goby

Elacatinus puncticulatus - a marine fish for aquariums from 60 liters

With a maximum body length of 5 cm, the red-headed goby is a good choice for stocking saltwater aquariums with a small volume. We recommend keeping them in aquariums of 60 liters or more. Your reef tank should be covered or have side bars so that the gobies cannot jump out.

Socialization of Elacatinus puncticulatus

Keeping them together with larger fish is usually no problem. Sometimes the gobies even let other tank inhabitants clean them. Keeping them together with predatory shrimps or crabs should definitely be avoided, as they might like to eat the small gobies. In our experience, Lysmata are not a problem.
