Randall’s Goby: Your Aquarium’s Symbiotic Star

Introduce the fascinating world of the Randall’s Goby, a striking marine fish renowned for its vibrant stripes and unique partnership with pistol shrimp, bringing dynamic behavior to your reef tank.

Overview

The Randall’s Goby (*Amblyeleotris randalli*) showcases a pearly white body adorned with bold orange-red vertical stripes and distinctive yellow markings on its head. Its elongated dorsal fin features a prominent black eye-spot, making it truly captivating. This bottom-dwelling species is famous for its symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimp, where the shrimp digs and maintains a burrow while the goby stands guard, creating a unique display in your aquarium.

Care Level

Considered a moderate care level species, Randall’s Gobies are peaceful and hardy once established. They thrive in a stable marine environment. While compatible with many peaceful tank mates, they can be territorial towards other gobies in smaller setups. They are fully reef-safe and an excellent choice for a healthy aquarium fish community.

Tank Essentials

A minimum of 75 litres is recommended for a Randall’s Goby, ideally more if pairing with a pistol shrimp or other fish. Provide a deep sand bed (at least 5cm) for burrowing activity, along with secure rockwork. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.1-8.4, salinity 1.020-1.025, and temperature 22-26°C. A tight-fitting lid is crucial as they are known jumpers.

Diet

Randall’s Gobies are carnivores and require a protein-rich diet. Offer a variety of meaty foods such as frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped marine seafood. High-quality marine pellets can also be accepted. Feed small amounts two to three times daily.
