Blue Dot Sleeper Goby(Valenciennea sexguttata), 3.5"-4.75"
Description
Gobies are an excellent addition to reef aquariums as they are very timid, disease resistant and hardy. When planning a display with this goby, be sure to use a few inches of mixed grain sand, as this will give them enough depth to burrow, and a more secure final structure. The Blue Dot Sleeper Goby scavenges and sift through the sand for food, which helps keep your sand looking clean. However, be sure to supplement their diet with meaty frozen foods (thawed) and marine sinking pellets. Because they are generally busy working on the sand bed, target feeding is recommended to keep them from missing meals. They can become territorial against other Blue Dot Sleepers, Gobies and bottom dwellers so they should be the only goby unless they are a mated pair. This little guy has an adult size of about 5" and are a great addition to smaller aquariums. They have a white body and small blue spots on its face.
