The Orange Lined Goby originates from the rubble zones of Indonesia. They are a sand sifting species that will continually process mouthfuls of sand in their search for food. They have an elongated body with bright orange markings across the face that fade into a yellow colouration extending along the length of the body. The horizontal lines are joined together with vertical lines across the body, giving it a checkerboard appearance. The Orange Lined Goby are generally peaceful fish that will aid in keeping your sand bed aerated and clean.
It should be housed in an established 20 gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of live rock and a substrate of fine to moderately sized sand. A tight-fitting canopy is necessary to prevent the Orange Lined Goby from jumping out of the aquarium. It will rarely become aggressive towards other fish, but is territorial, and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair.
The Orange Lined Goby feeds on a variety of small crustaceans, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp (live or frozen), mysis shrimp, prepared foods for herbivores, and a quality flake or pellet food.
