Panda Goby

Paragobius lacunicolus. The Panda Goby is usually found among the branches of Pocillopora coral colonies. It is a small, stocky fish with a very large head for its size and is black, white and yellow in color. They are a peaceful fish that makes a wonderful addition to a reef aquarium containing colonies of polyp corals, as they enjoy swimming and hiding among the polyps. However, they can pinch polyps from SPS corals. It requires a 10-gallon or larger aquarium with at least one Pocillopora coral and a few shaded areas for the fish to hide. It will rarely become aggressive towards other fish. It is therefore preferable that it be kept with other docile species. The Panda Goby's diet should consist of a variety of small meat foods, such as brine shrimp, frozen chopped mysis shrimp, and other frozen food preparations for carnivores.
