Diamond Goby (Valenciennea puellaris)
The Diamond Goby is a small, peaceful sand-sifting fish known for its slender body, striking diamond-like pattern along its sides, and long, elegant fins. It is active and constantly on the move, sifting through the sand to search for food while keeping the substrate clean, making it a functional and visually appealing addition to a marine aquarium.
Size: Typically grows up to 5 inches in length
Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific
Latin Name: Valenciennea puellaris
Care Level: Moderate – thrives in well-established aquariums with fine sand beds and plenty of hiding spots
Diamond Gobies are carnivores that feed primarily on small invertebrates, copepods, and prepared sinking foods. They are generally reef-safe, as they focus on sifting the sand rather than disturbing corals. Providing a deep sand bed and peaceful tankmates ensures they can display their natural behavior while contributing to substrate health.
