Keeping Citron Clown Goby in an Aquarium

The Citron Clown Goby, also known as Gobiodon citrinus, is a small and colorful marine fish that is popular among aquarium enthusiasts. Here are some things to keep in mind when keeping them in an aquarium:

Tank Size

Citron Clown Gobies are small fish that only grow up to 1.5 inches in length. However, they are active swimmers and need plenty of room to move around. A 10-gallon tank is the minimum size recommended for a pair of Citron Clown Gobies.

Water Conditions

Citron Clown Gobies are native to the Indo-Pacific region and prefer warm water with a temperature range of 72-78°F. They also require a pH range of 8.1-8.4 and a salinity level of 1.020-1.025.

Diet

Citron Clown Gobies are omnivores and will eat a variety of foods, including frozen and live foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and chopped seafood. They also require a source of algae in their diet, which can be provided through the use of a refugium or by adding algae sheets to the tank.

Coolest Stuff About Citron Clown Gobies

  • Citron Clown Gobies are known for their bright yellow coloration, which makes them stand out in a saltwater aquarium.
  • They are a peaceful species that can be kept with other small, non-aggressive fish and invertebrates.
  • Citron Clown Gobies are one of the few fish species that can change their sex from female to male. This occurs when a dominant male is removed from the group or dies.
  • They have a symbiotic relationship with certain species of coral, where they live in the coral's branches and provide protection from predators in exchange for shelter and food.
