This unique little fish will hardly ever be seen in the aquarium if there are hiding places. There for, it is not very desirable. Usually the only chance of seeing it in action is by turning out all the lights and using a red light to view it come out of hiding. It is extermely secretive and difficult to initiate feeding. Best left to the wild. |

The Yellow Brotula (Dinematichthys riukiuensis) is sometimes called a Yellow Eel Goby or a Lycopod Brotula. It belongs to the family named Bythitidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 4.0 inches in length, the Yellow Brotula is passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the evening hours or at night and less so during the day, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Dinematichthys riukiuensis should not be housed in a tank less than 10 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.
