Fire Goby Africa Nemateleotris magnifica
A lovely but timid species that should be housed with other passive fishes. If kept with aggressive tankmates, it will hide and not feed. Keep singly, unless the tank is very large or a male-female pair is obtained. If kept in groups, one individual will dominate and chase the others until it kills them all. Provide coral rubble as suitable hiding places. A notorious jumper.
Valenciennea puellaris
The sleeper gobies are sometimes employed as working fishes in reef tanks with substrate because their feeding activities take them deeper into the sandbed than many other gobies. Unfortunately they are difficult to keep and many slowly starve to death. To improve the chances of success, keep them in a tank with live sand and a well-established refugium. Be sure they are well fed. Can be kept in male-female pairs, othersiwe they may quarrel with each other and with other sleeper gobies.
Offer Feed meaty foods, including vitamin-enriched live and frozen brine shrimp, frozen mysid shrimp, finely shaved table shrimp and frozen food for carnivores.
