Ahh...yes, the Red Head Goby(Elacatinus puncticulatus). They stay pretty small, and can be kept in a tank as small as a 10 gallon(they only get 2") They like coral rubble as a substrate, but it isn't needed for it to do well. They are found near Equador in the wild. Its not ususally aggressive towards other fish, however, it might fight with its own kind, unless its a mated pair. Sometimes it even acts as a cleaner fish. Its pretty common for this species to spawn in the aquarium...just know if you want to attempt this, that you need to make sure you purchase a mated pair. Their food should be made up of a variety of live and frozen brine shrimp, frozen mysid shrimp, diced RAW table shrimp, and frozen food preparations for carnivores. If kept in a reef tank(and I assume it will be), it should be fed once per day.
