Halfbarred Goby

(Priolepis semidoliata)

Add Priolepis Gobies to aquariums with plenty of rockwork, caves, cracks and crevices for hiding. Provide a sandy and rock rubble substrate for theses Gobies as they will spend time on the bottom of the aquarium. Priolepis Gobies are small and peaceful making a great addition to reef or fish only aquariums. A diet rich in meaty prepared foods should be fed twice daily. House with other peaceful tank mates. House Priolepis Gobies singly as they may become territorial to other Gobies. Gobies are jumpers provide an aquarium with a tight fitting lid.
