:Spawning generally occurs in caves at temperatures above {{C|26}}. Females typically lay 50-250 eggs on the ceiling of a cave, with males guarding the eggs until hatching, which typically occurs in 10 days. Newly hatched fry are around {{in|0.2}} long and are large enough to eat newly hatched brine shrimp. | :Spawning generally occurs in caves at temperatures above {{C|26}}.

| + | |tank_compatibility=:This fish is territorial and will chase other fish away from its cave, however it will not chase far. Males can be somewhat aggressive toward each other, but little harm is done if the defeated male can get out of the winner’s line-of-sight. | ||
| + | |diet=:Prefers live foods, but will occasionally take frozen foods, especially frozen [[brine shrimp]], [[daphnia]] and [[bloodworms]]. Frozen foods are often ignored once they settle on the bottom. | ||

Field observations and laboratory experimentation indicate that it can withstand wide ranges of temperature ({{C|5|41}}), salinity (0-60 p.p.t.), pH (6.8-11.0) and very low dissolved oxygen level. |

| − | + | |behaviour=:Very poor swimmers these Gobies get around by hops and scoots and enjoy plenty of rock or PVC pipe caves to explore and play on. | |
| − | + | |identification=:Males have a golden yellow body and boldly coloured blue, black and white bands on their fins. The first dorsal of some males is tipped with lemon yellow. Females are generally various shades of light brown with clear fins. | |
