Description
The Sonora Goby is a small, bottom-dwelling freshwater fish native to the Sonora River basin in Mexico. It features a mottled, camouflaged pattern that helps it blend into sandy and rocky substrates. These gobies are known for their interesting behaviors and require a well-established aquarium with appropriate substrate.
