Description
The Md Diamond Goby (Valenciennea puellaris), sold in a lot of six, is a fantastic addition to reef aquariums. Known for its peaceful temperament and sand-sifting behavior, the Diamond Goby helps keep the substrate clean by consuming small particles of food and detritus, making it an ideal fish for maintaining a healthy aquarium environment.
Its slender body is adorned with orange spots and stripes that contrast beautifully against its white or translucent body. The Diamond Goby thrives on a carnivorous diet, feeding on meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. This species is reef-safe and can peacefully coexist with other tankmates, adding both function and beauty to any aquarium.
