Description
The Knight Goby is a striking brackish water fish characterized by its elongated body, dark base color adorned with numerous iridescent white spots, and a prominent ocellus on its caudal fin. These territorial gobies require a well-established brackish aquarium with ample hiding spots and can be semi-aggressive towards smaller or similarly shaped tankmates.
