Description: Flaming Prawn Goby - Stonogobiops griessingeri, Discordipinna griessingeri

A rare gem in the saltwater aquarium world.

The Flaming Prawn Goby is a visually striking and distinctive goby species. These gobies feature a predominantly white body adorned with vivid orange patterns and dark facial spots. Their prominent dorsal fin is a defining characteristic.

Reaching up to 2 inches in length, Flaming Prawn Gobies thrive in tanks of at least 10 gallons. Known for their jumping ability, they require a securely covered tank to prevent escape. These peaceful fish coexist harmoniously with other tank inhabitants, making them ideal for reef aquariums.

In smaller tanks, it's best to keep Flaming Prawn Gobies in mated pairs. In larger setups, they can be housed in groups or with other gobies. Avoid pairing them with aggressive fish, as they lack defensive capabilities. They flourish in environments with ample live rock and sand, which they explore for small invertebrates between feedings.

As carnivores, Flaming Prawn Gobies require a diet rich in meaty foods. Offer them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and suitable flake and pellet options. Ensure the food is appropriately sized for their small mouths.
