Hasselts Goby (Callogobius hasselti)

Hasselt's Goby (Callogobius hasselti), a stunning and peaceful marine fish species that will make a fantastic addition to your aquarium. Known for their great camouflage and unique behaviors, Hasselt's Goby prefers strong water flow and should be provided with live rock for hiding and resting. With easy care requirements and a peaceful temperament, this small-sized gem from the Western Pacific Ocean and Great Barrier Reef is perfect for beginner and experienced hobbyists alike.
Hasselt's Goby is a benthic feeder and primarily feeds on copepods and other small invertebrates. Providing a varied diet 2-3 times daily that includes live or frozen foods, such as copepods, brine shrimp, and mysis shrimp, is important to meet their nutritional needs. They are reef safe and get to a length of 3-4 inches. You will want to keep them in tanks with other reef compatible species as they do not fair well in aggressive tanks. A minimum tank size for them is 30 gallons.   

Size and Lifespan of the Hasselts Goby:

The Hasselts Goby is a petite species, typically reaching a maximum size of around 2 inches (5 centimeters). Despite its small size, it boasts a relatively long lifespan, with proper care and optimal tank conditions supporting a lifespan of up to 5 years in captivity.

Diet of the Hasselts Goby in Captivity:

Feeding this goby is straightforward, as it readily accepts a varied diet. Offer high-quality, small-sized pellets or flakes supplemented with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and finely chopped seafood to meet its nutritional needs.

Compatibility with Other Fish and Invertebrates:

Known for its peaceful nature, the Hasselts Goby is compatible with various tank mates. Exercise caution when introducing it to aggressive or territorial species. Ideal tank mates include small, non-aggressive fish and invertebrates with similar water parameter requirements.

Tank Requirements for the Hasselts Goby:

Ensure the well-being of the Hasselts Goby with a minimum aquarium size of 20 gallons. Provide a sandy substrate to mimic its natural habitat and plenty of hiding spots among rocks or artificial structures. A well-established filtration system is crucial, as is maintaining stable water conditions.
