Description
The Amikami Goby is a fascinating and eye-catching species, boasting striking white, orange, and black patterns along its body and fins. This peaceful fish is known for forming symbiotic relationships with pistol shrimp, where the shrimp creates a burrow and the goby acts as a lookout for potential predators.
Ideal for reef aquariums, the Amikami Goby thrives in well-established tanks with sandy substrates and plenty of hiding spots. It prefers a carnivorous diet consisting of meaty foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and small marine-based preparations. This fish adapts well to peaceful communities and offers an interesting dynamic to any aquarium with its symbiotic behavior.
