With yellow stripes so bold,
Its colors never got old,
On rocks and corals, it can't be beat!

Keeping Clingfish Yellow Striped Goby in an Aquarium

The Clingfish Yellow Striped Goby, also known as Diademichthys lineatus, is a unique and fascinating fish that can make a great addition to a home aquarium. Here are some things to keep in mind if you're interested in keeping this species:

Tank Requirements

Clingfish Yellow Striped Gobies are relatively small, growing to around 4 inches in length. They are also bottom-dwelling fish that like to cling to rocks and other surfaces. As a result, they require an aquarium with plenty of hiding places and surfaces for them to attach to.

A tank size of at least 20 gallons is recommended for a single Clingfish Yellow Striped Goby, with an additional 10 gallons for each additional fish. The tank should also have a sand substrate and plenty of live rock to provide hiding places and surfaces for the fish to cling to.

Water Conditions

Clingfish Yellow Striped Gobies are relatively hardy and can tolerate a range of water conditions. They prefer a pH between 8.1 and 8.4 and a temperature between 72 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit. They also require a moderate to strong water flow in the aquarium.

Diet

Clingfish Yellow Striped Gobies are carnivorous and feed on small invertebrates such as copepods, amphipods, and small crustaceans. In the aquarium, they can be fed a diet of frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and krill.
