Description
The Wuyi Goby is a small, bottom-dwelling freshwater fish endemic to the Wuyi Mountains of China, known for its mottled camouflage and ability to cling to rocks in fast-flowing streams. It thrives in well-oxygenated aquariums with plenty of hiding spots and a substrate of sand and smooth pebbles. While generally peaceful, males can be territorial with each other during breeding.
