Description
The Yellow Cavegoby (*Luciogobius adapel*) is a small, reclusive freshwater goby native to subterranean cave systems in Japan. It exhibits a slender, elongated body with a distinctive yellow-orange coloration and prominent eyes adapted for low-light conditions. This species requires a specialized aquarium setup mimicking its natural cave habitat, including stable water parameters and ample hiding spots.
