This goby does sift the substrate but rarely to the extent where it could be deemed a "tank worker". |

The Gorgeous Prawn Goby (Amblyeleotris wheeleri) belongs to the family named Gobiidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 4.0 inches in length, the Gorgeous Prawn Goby is semi-aggressive 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. Amblyeleotris wheeleri 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 plenty of hiding places and a deep substrate.
