A great goby for the peaceful reef tank. The Twinspot get its name from two distinct spots on its dorsal fin, thought to mimic the look of a crab. These gobies do best in pairs and are typically sold that way. If you do not have a lush bed of livesand and/or a refugium supplying your tank with foods, these will more than likely slowly starve to death in captivity. When feeding make sure food is falling around their area of choice, if more aggressive feeders are present they may not eat. |

The Twinspot Goby (Signigobius biocellatus) is sometimes called a Two Spot Goby, a Signal Goby, or a Crabeye Goby. It belongs to the family named Gobiidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 2.7 inches in length, the Twinspot Goby is passive in nature and sensitive 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 low and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Signigobius biocellatus should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, 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, plenty of hiding places, a fine substrate, and a mixed substrate.
