While they are peaceful they are a threat to smaller tank mates, especially small, thin fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAnd like Cichlids, Engineer Gobies are sociable and slightly territorial. They rarely squabble among themselves, however. Groups of Engineer Gobies form Colonies of dozens or even hundreds of individuals in the wild that work together to form Interconnecting tunnels many meters long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This constant construction habit is what gives the Engineer Goby their most common name. These fish simply aren't comfortable unless they have structures to burrow under. When young they are a solid black with a silvery white stripe. They look quite a bit like the mildly venomous Coral Catfish ( \u003cem\u003ePhetusus angularis\u003c\/em\u003e ).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e As they age the horizontal stripes Meld into blotches and finally vertical bars and the Engineer Gobies spend less time swimming exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Care Requirements: A minimum 55 gallon Aquarium is ideal to house a pair or small group of juvenile Engineer gobies; a larger group, or more mature individuals, will require more space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Korallifarmi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46981045780803,"sku":"LEUCO","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/1864\/8365\/files\/engineer-goby-pholidichthys-leucotaenia-956.webp?v=1772611745","url":"https:\/\/korallefarmi.com\/en\/products\/engineer-goby-pholidichthys-leucotaenia","provider":"Korallifarmi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
