Description
The Nantaiensis Goby is a small, colorful freshwater fish known for its algae-grazing habits. Native to fast-flowing streams, it requires highly oxygenated and clean water with plenty of established biofilm and algae. These peaceful bottom-dwellers are an excellent choice for planted aquariums with specific water parameters.
