Diet
Carnivorous. They primarily feed on small invertebrates, worms, and insect larvae. Offer them a varied diet consisting of high-quality sinking pellets, frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and blackworms.
Community Compatibility
Dragon Gobies are best kept in a species-only setup or with other peaceful, larger fish that can tolerate their territorial behavior. Avoid keeping them with small or fin-nipping species.
Gender Differences
Males are typically larger and have more pronounced bristles on their chin and jaw.
