Descripción de la especie

Glossogobius olivaceus, a member of the family Gobiidae, is native to Indo-Pacific. Every rock overhang is real estate; give each fish a cave and the tank stays peaceful. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 37.5–55 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 18–26 °C at pH 6.5–7.5. A rewarding species for the aquarist who reads before buying.
