Knight Goby (Stigmatogobius sadanundio)

Description

The Knight Goby (Stigmatogobius sadanundio) is a fascinating freshwater fish native to South Asia, spanning from India to Indonesia, including Sri Lanka and the Andaman Islands. Let’s delve into some intriguing details about this captivating aquatic species:

  1. Appearance and Behavior:

    • Knight Gobies are small fish, typically reaching a maximum length of about 9 cm in home aquariums.
    • Their coloration tends to be a pale or dull grayish hue, adorned with tiny black speckles on their bodies.
    • Like other Goby fish, they exhibit a distinctive wobbly swimming style.
    • Despite their small size, Knight Gobies are not necessarily friendly companions. They should be kept singly and not with other Gobies.
    • They can be territorial and aggressive toward smaller fish sharing their space.

  2. Water Parameters:

    • Knight Gobies are fairly tolerant of a wide range of water temperatures, thriving in 68°F to 79°F.
    • They require water with a pH range of 7.0 to 8.5. Although often sold as brackish fish, they prefer freshwater setups.

  3. Diet:

    • These Gobies are primarily carnivorous, relishing a diet of brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and other meaty, sinking foods.
    • While they can benefit from occasional vegetable treats, these should not constitute the bulk of their diet.

  4. Lifespan and Tank Size:

    • With proper care, Knight Gobies can live up to 3 to 5 years.
    • A single Knight Goby requires a minimum tank size of 20 gallons. If keeping more than one, opt for a larger tank with hiding places.

  5. Ideal Tank Setup:

    • Knight Gobies occupy the middle and bottom of the water column.
    • Provide ample space for exploration, hiding, claiming territory, and scavenging.
    • Larger decor pieces can break up the line of sight across the aquarium.

  6. Freshwater or Slightly Brackish:

    • Although often sold as brackish fish, Knight Gobies thrive best in either freshwater or slightly brackish conditions.
