General information

It provides a watchful eye while the shrimp digs a burrow for them to share. It is best suited for aquariums which have lots of hiding places along with ample swimming space. The aquarium should have a tight-fitting lid to prevent it from jumping out. The Orange Spotted Goby adapts well to reef aquariums, although it does pose a possible threat to small, delicate ornamental shrimp.
