About this fish
About this fish
Twin Spot Goby (Signigobius biocellatus) is a small, peaceful goby suited for a home saltwater aquarium. In practical terms, it brings active, natural behavior to the tank—often perching on rocks or corals, sifting sand, and in some setups even sharing a burrow with a pistol shrimp. It’s a useful addition for aquarists looking for a calm bottom-dweller that can participate in the tank’s daily routine without being aggressive toward tankmates.
Features:
- Small, peaceful temperament that generally works well in many community saltwater tanks
- Active behavior: commonly perches on rocks or corals and explores the bottom
- May use sand-sifting behavior to sift the substrate (sand depth and maturity matter)
- In some aquascapes, can pair up by sharing a burrow with a pistol shrimp
- Tends to be jump-prone, so a tight-fitting lid helps reduce escapes
- Acclimate slowly and provide a quiet area so the fish can settle after arrival
