Diamond Goby

Valenciennea puellaris. The Diamond Goby, Valenciennea puellaris, features small brilliant orange diamond shapes across is fluorescent white body. They are one of the most beautiful species of goby for the home aquarium. Like other Goby species, the Diamond Goby will often create its own burrow in the sand - sometimes these burrows are shared in a symbiotic relationship with the Pistol Shrimp. Therefore, a tank with plenty live rock, a sandy substrate, and a tightly sealed lid to prevent escapes is recommended. They will eat a carnivorous diet and can be feed using a feeding stick. The Diamond Goby is hardy, easy to care for, and disease resistant. They can breed in captivity. Overall, the Diamond Goby is one of the most well-rounded fish you can get for your aquarium: they are easy to care for, friendly, entertaining, and hardy.
