The Orange Spotted Goby, also called Goby, Spotted Prawn Goby, or Orange Spotted Shrimp Goby was first observed within the Western Pacific in 1938. The body of the fish is white with orange spots highlighted in brown. It has the ability to form symbiotic alliances with nearly blind Alpheid shrimp. It keeps an eye on the shrimp as the shrimp digs a burrow, which they share. It is recommended for aquariums 10 gallons or larger and contains adequate hiding areas as well as ample space for swimming. The aquarium must have the lid tightly fitted to prevent it from escaping. This Orange Spotted Goby adapts well to reef aquariums. However, it could pose a danger to tiny, delicate decorative shrimp. It is attracted to an area of fine sand and loose coral rubble to sift through. The Orange Spotted Goby can spawn successfully in aquariums. The diet of the fish should include an assortment of mysis shrimp that are frozen or fresh and vitamin-rich brine shrimp or table shrimp. It is recommended to feed it daily at least two times. Approximate purchase size: 1" to 2"

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
