Description
The Glass Goby (*Gobiopterus chuno*) is a tiny, mostly transparent fish native to estuaries and coastal waters of Southeast Asia. Known for its peaceful nature and small size, it makes an interesting addition to dedicated nano or brackish setups, though it can adapt to pure freshwater. Its diet consists of small invertebrates, requiring varied small live or frozen foods in captivity.
