Pink Spot Watchman Gobies are colorful and attractive gobies for a community fish-only or reef aquarium. They have light-colored bodies with bright pink and blue spots on their head and pinkish bands along their sides. This fish is best known as part of the group of gobies known as sand-sifters. They take mouthfuls of the substrate and sift it out through their gills, searching for food. This can help keep the substrate aerated and may help prevent the build-up of organic debris that leads to high nitrate levels, algae, and cyanobacteria (“Red Slime Algae”). They shoulds be kept in a tank with fine, soft substrate that will not damage their gills as they sift. They will eat a variety of frozen foods and possibly flake and pellet. Gobies prefer a tank with plenty of rocky hiding places. They get along with most tankmates, but can be aggressive toward other gobies. This goby is a known jumper; when startled or threatened, they have been known to jump out of uncovered aquariums. Always keep the tank covered and provide plenty of hiding places for this fish to retreat to.206729
