Diamond Goby-2-3”

Valenciennea puellaris

The Diamond goby is also known as the Orange-spotted Sleeper Goby, Orange dashed goby, the Watchman Diamond Goby, or the diamond goby.

It should be housed in a 50 gallon or larger aquarium with live sand as the substrate, and an attached populated refugium. It rarely will become aggressive towards other fish, but is territorial, and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair.

The Orangespotted Sleeper Goby feeds off the bottom as it sifts through the sand. Its diet should include a variety of live and frozen foods. While not especially prone to jumping, they can, so a covered tank is suggested.
