A great algae eater, these are specialized benthic feeders which scrape biofilm, algae, and other small organisms from rocks. In the aquarium, they readily graze on algae wafers, large sinking pellets, Repashy, and other stable foods that don't rapidly dissolve in the water column. Like Loricariad catfish, these gobies scrape their food and ingest it a little at a time, so they need a lot of time with the food and are easily outcompeted by rapid swimmers and aggressive eaters. A mature aquarium with lots of biofilm and algae buildup helps keep them fat and sassy by providing grazing between meals.

Water Parameters: We keep all our fish at a temperature of 79 F.
Our pH measures around 8.3 with a KH and GH a bit over 300ppm. That being said, we want to caution folks with different water parameters from thinking that they need to change their water for our fish. We have many customers in the Pacific Northwest, Upstate New York, and other areas that have very soft water. Our fish do just fine in their water without any parameter matching. What is most important is that the water our fish are put in upon arrival have steady parameters, not that your water parameters match ours.
