The Sleeper Railway Glider Goby originates in the rubble areas surrounding the coral reefs in Sri Lanka. It's white in coloration with two distinct orange and black horizontal lines that run along across the body. The dorsal fin has black edges and gives it a striking appearance. It's a shy fish that can be a fantastic addition to reef aquariums and can help maintain the sandy bed. It is recommended to keep it in a 30 gallon or more aquarium that has a fine to a medium-sized sandy substrate. Sleeper Railway Glider Goby uses small burrows in the substrate to protect itself and maintain the sand bed. It does not usually become aggressive with other fish, but it is territorial and can fight with its own species unless they're a mated pair. The Sleeper Railway Glider Goby feeds from the bottom as it is sifting across the sand. The diet of the goby should comprise various frozen brine and mysis shrimp, bloodworms, and prepared carnivore food items. It is recommended to feed it at least once a day. Approximate Size of Purchase: 1-1/2" to 3-1/2"

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.
