Orange Spot Prawn Goby

Orange Spot Prawn Gobies, Amblyeleotris guttata, are found living in several reefs of the Indo Pacific region. This Goby is one of several Shrimp Gobies found in the oceans. If present, this fish will gladly share its sand bed burrow with a Pistol Shrimp Alpheus. It will also build burrows in the absence of a Pistol Shrimp; helping to keep the sand bed well stirred. Also known by the name Pretty Prawn Fish, this Goby readily adapts to a diet of frozen or live shrimp such as Mysis Shrimp or Brine Shrimp and should be fed multiple times daily.

Approximate Arrival Size for Prawn Gobies: 1 to 2.5 in.
