Pouter Blushing False Eye Goby

Acanthocepola should be added to well established aquariums. A deep sand bed should be provided as they will build vertical burrows, hovering above them waiting for prey. Acanthocepola are carnivorous and feed on small invertebrates. They are a peaceful fish and should be housed with other peaceful tank mates. Juveniles and adults have marked color differences. Provide an aquarium with a tight fitting lid as they may jump.
