Food
Omnivorous; They prefer live foods, but also eat dried and frozen foods. Occassionally add some vegetable matter in their diet and they will often browse on green algae in the aquarium.
Breeding
Males of this species tend to have larger fins; the females will also display a more light yellowish coloration. Provide caves or tunnels in the tank for spawning sites. Their eggs are laid on the roofs of their shelters. The eggs and fry are protected by the parents, especially the male. When the fry have become free swimming, they can be fed on Infusoria or Rotifers.
Compatible with
Don’t try to keep it with much smaller species as it will eat anything it can fit in its mouth. It may also nip the fins of slow-moving or long-finned species. Ideal tankmates are other hardwater or brackish species that inhabit different levels of the aquarium, such as archer fish, chromides, rainbowfish, Monos, Chanda sp. etc. Do not combine it with other territorial species that inhabit the bottom of the aquarium such as many cichlids or there may be some aggression.
Note
Sandy substrate with rock structures that form lots of caves, so the fish can form territories. You can add a few plants which can tolerate brackish water. Read more: http://diszhal.info/english/brackish/en_Stigmatogobius_sadanundio.php#ixzz1uI01D26O
