The Dragon Goby has a distinctive look from other Gobies and is good choice for a substrate mechanic. Only keep one per tank unless it is a pair, since it can be aggressive towards members of its own kind. |

The Dragon Goby (Amblygobius phalaena) is sometimes called a Brownbarred Goby or a Sleeper Banded Goby. It belongs to the family named Gobiidae. The Dragon Goby is generally passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the substrate. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Amblygobius phalaena should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra substrate area and a deep substrate.
