**Searching for a unique personality fish that adds nonstop character and function to your tank? Meet the Two-Spot Goby—**a beautifully patterned, sand-sifting marvel that thrives in peaceful reef environments and quickly becomes a favorite of all who watch it.

With its striking spotted dorsal fins, side-by-side “eye spots” used to confuse predators, and constant hovering and hopping behavior, the Two-Spot Goby brings life to the bottom of your tank like few others can. And unlike many other sand sifters, this one does it with flair.

What Makes Our Two-Spots Better:

This species is infamously delicate out of import, often refusing to eat and wasting away quickly if not handled properly. At YoCamron’s Aquatics, we put Two-Spots through a strict 10-week quarantine protocol to ensure they arrive fat, healthy, and eating like champs.

Our Protocol Includes:

• Kanamycin & Nitrofurazone to prevent common bacterial infections
• Formalin dips to eliminate external parasites like flukes
• Deworming with Fenbendazole & Levamisole to clear internal parasites that often lead to emaciation
• Nutritional ramp-up with frozen Mysis, enriched Brine, and high-protein micro-pellets to trigger strong feeding responses

Why This Goby Belongs in Your Reef:

• Functional sifter that gently turns over substrate and reduces detritus buildup
• Extremely peaceful, pairs well with shrimp gobies, clowns, nano wrasses, and more
• Rare and fascinating behavior, including its mimicry defense posture using dorsal eye spots
• One of the few sand-sifters that adds both utility and aesthetic movement

Tank Notes:

Best kept in established tanks with fine to moderate sand beds. Ideal for reef tanks 20–75 gallons. Can be kept solo, in mated pairs, or small peaceful communities. Avoid aggressive tankmates like large hawkfish, wrasses, or predatory gobies.

Whether you’re building a nano reef or looking for the perfect bottom-dweller for a peaceful lagoon-style display, the Two-Spot Goby is a one-of-a-kind fish that’s as functional as it is beautiful—and with YoCamron’s quarantine process, you’re getting the best shot at long-term success.
