科: Eleotridae
刺塘鳢为塘鳢科鱼类，除争夺藏身处外基本平和，原生分布于中国南方沿海及河口。每块石头都是房产；给每尾一个洞，缸里就太平。成体约 14.2–20.9 cm，成对或小群饲养，需提供充足藏身处，适宜水温 18–26 °C。一鱼一洞，万事大吉。
Eleotris acanthopoma, a member of the family Eleotridae, is native to southern Chinese coasts and estuaries. Every rock overhang is real estate; give each fish a cave and the tank stays peaceful. It swims in mid-water. Adults reach 14.2–20.9 cm. Pairs or small groups with ample hiding spots. 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. Undemanding once its core needs are met.
