  • Minimum Tank Size: 20 gallons (75 litres)

  • Temperature: 24–27°C (75–81°F)

  • pH: 8.1–8.4

  • Specific Gravity (Salinity): 1.020–1.025

  • Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH

  • Ammonia & Nitrite: 0 ppm

  • Aquascape: Provide fine sand substrate for burrowing, along with live rock and rubble for hiding and perching

Ghost Gobies thrive in established aquariums with stable water parameters and a substrate suitable for natural digging and foraging behavior.


Diet and Feeding

Ghost Gobies are carnivorous and feed on small meaty foods:

  • Frozen or live foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood

  • High-quality micro-pellets formulated for carnivorous marine fish

  • Feed 2–3 times daily in small portions, ideally distributed over the substrate to encourage natural foraging

A varied diet supports vibrant coloration and healthy activity levels.


Temperament and Compatibility

Ghost Gobies are peaceful, bottom-dwelling fish that are generally compatible with other non-aggressive species. They are often seen hovering close to the sand or perching on rubble, retreating quickly when threatened.

Tankmate Recommendations:

  • Suitable: Small gobies, clownfish, firefish, blennies, and other peaceful reef fish

  • Avoid: Large or aggressive predators

Adequate hiding spots and substrate reduce stress and allow natural behavior to flourish.
