Asterropteryx semipunctata - T.B.

Asterropteryx semipunctata, commonly known as Starry goby, is a small goby very common in many seas. These gobies have a tan to blackish base colour black irregular shaped spots and sometimes some red spots on the body. On top of that lay blueish spots which are forming irregular horizontal lines and can continue in the fins as well.

In nature these fishes are found in algae-coated reef rocks and when they feel threatened they quickly retrieve into a small hole untill the danger is gone. These fish are carnivores and hunt for all kind of small invertabrates. In our aquaria it will mainly feed on the zooplankton that is naturally present, but they'll eat flakes and pellets normally as well. Due to their small size, these fishes are perfect for a nano tank! Just be careful combining multiple gobies and always make sure there is enough space and hiding spots for all of them to form a terratorium. 

This fish is Tank Bred and will readily eat dry food and adapts to your aquarium easier compared to a wild caught specimen!
