Artübersicht

Rhinogobius duospilus, a member of the family Gobiidae, is native to mountain streams of E & S China. Every rock overhang is real estate; give each fish a cave and the tank stays peaceful. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 4.7–6.8 cm. Singly or in pairs; every fish needs its own refuge. Provide fine sand or smooth gravel, a cave per fish, and gentle to moderate flow. Maintain 15–25 °C at pH 6.5–7.5. A rewarding species for the aquarist who reads before buying.
