Wheeler's Watchamn Goby - Amblyeleotris wheeleri

A striking and peaceful addition to any reef aquarium, Wheeler's Watchman Goby displays vibrant orange, white, and yellow coloration that brings life to the lower water column. This easy-to-care-for carnivore thrives in established reef systems and pairs beautifully with pistol shrimp, often forming symbiotic partnerships where the goby stands guard while the shrimp excavates their shared burrow. Ideal for aquarists seeking an interactive, reef-safe fish with minimal care demands. Requires a 30-gallon minimum tank with stable conditions: specific gravity 1.020–1.025, temperature 72–78°F, alkalinity 8–12 dKH, and pH 8.1–8.4. Reaches a maximum size of 5 inches and feeds readily on small crustaceans and meaty foods. A captive-bred specimen ensures hardiness and reduces collection pressure on wild populations.
