A very attractive and usually aggresive Goby. As this one gets older it can become more boistrous. Keep only one unless it is a mated pair. Also, it does sift the substrate, but no where to the degree of the Orange Spotterd Goby (Valencienna puellaris). So, purchase for looks and not as a worker. |

The Pinkspotted Goby (Cryptocentrus leptocephalus) is sometimes called a Pinkspotted Shrimp Goby, a Singapore Shrimp Goby, a Spotted Watchman Goby, or a Leptocephalus Prawn. It belongs to the family named Gobiidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.7 inches in length, the Pinkspotted 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. Cryptocentrus leptocephalus 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.
