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.

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.
