Gobies are becoming ever more popular. The Dragon Goby from China is a real classic. It was formerly known under the name
Rhinogobius wui,
but that name is now
regarded as a synonym of
R.duospilus.
This little goby grows to only around 4 cm long. It is an inhabitant of freshwater streams and requires no addition of salt.The males
dig holes beneath rocks, and spawning takes place there.Rearing the relatively large fry is comparatively easy.Because of their provenance (southern China) these fishes
can readily be kept without heating, and the temperature can lie between 16 and 26 °C. Text & photo: F. Schäfer
