Two Spot Goby,
Gobiusculus flavescens
They make an excellent
aquarium fish; it is a small peaceful goby that is active & is in
almost constant motion. It grows to about 4cm, the males in are very
attractive with iridescent blue markings particularly at breeding time.
Only the males appear to have the two spots, one just in-front of the
tail & the other above the pectoral fin. The males guard the eggs
until they hatch; I have not found any fry in the aquarium as they are
presumably eaten by the other inhabitants. They are short lived species, living
for around two years.
They readily eat all foods offered to them, frozen foods, live food even dry food.
