The Wheeler's Shrimp Goby is a captivating and beautiful small fish. This goby features a predominantly white body adorned with bold red vertical stripes and pink accents. These gobies grow to a maximum size of about 4 inches and require a minimum tank size of 20 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature, Wheeler's Shrimp Gobies coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them an excellent choice for reef aquariums. However, they should not be housed with larger, aggressive fish. In smaller tanks, they may show aggression towards other gobies, so ensure a spacious environment if keeping multiple gobies together.
Due to their gentle disposition, Wheeler's Shrimp Gobies thrive in tanks with plenty of established live rock, which offers hiding spots and small invertebrates for them to snack on between meals. A refugium can also supply additional pods for their diet. These gobies spend much of their time sifting through sand in search of food, helping to maintain a clean and white substrate.
As carnivores, Wheeler's Shrimp Gobies need a diet rich in meaty foods. Feeding them mysis and brine shrimp, along with high-quality meaty frozen foods, will ensure they remain healthy and content.
