General Description: The Black Clown Goby has a wide distribution across the Indo-Pacific, however they are the most uncommon Gobiodon in the aquarium trade. A small, very peaceful fish with unparalleled personality to match as it hops across the live rock, the Black clown goby adds a unique appearance into any community or nano reef aquarium with their solid black coloration. A Black clown goby can reach an adult size of approximately 1-3/4″. Note: This species is infrequently available.
Diet Requirements: The Black clown goby is primarily carnivorous. A diet largely consisting of high quality, vitamin enriched frozen preparations is absolutely necessary to maintain optimal health, coloration, and immune function. Such foods can include, but are not limited to, brine shrimp, calanus, cyclopeeze and rotifers. We highly encourage soaking frozen foods in vitamin and fatty acid supplements. Multiple, small feedings per day rather than one large feeding will also create more of a natural environment for this goby as it would feed in the wild. A clown goby may accept high quality flake and micro-pellet foods.
Care Requirements: A minimum 10 gallon aquarium is ideal to house a Black clown goby. Spending most of its time on the live rock, this goby will appreciate some type of aquascape. Do not house clown gobies with overly aggressive and pugnacious tank mates. Black clown gobies are often selected for reef tanks, but caution should be taken when introducing a clown goby to a SPS dominated aquarium. In the wild, Black clown gobies consume the mucous of Acropora but may also do so to other small-polyp stony corals. Typically only one Black clown goby is suggested per aquarium, unless it is large enough to accomodate territories of three or more individuals. Recommended water conditions, 72-78° F, KH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, salinity 1.020-1.025.
Purchase Size:Â Small: 1/2″ or less; Medium: 3/4″ to 1-1/4″; Large: 1-1/2″ or larger.
