Tigrigobius macrodon – Tiger Goby
The Tiger Goby (Tigrigobius macrodon) is a small, striking goby species found in the coral reefs of the Caribbean, Atlantic, and Central Atlantic. This goby is particularly known for its distinctive black and yellow stripes, which give it the appearance of a tiger and earned it its name.
This small goby lives in coral formations and sponge areas, which are surrounded by white sand. The fish are typically found singly or in pairs on small coral heads and sponges, occasionally also on rocky substrates.
For aquarium care: This goby species, which only grows to 3-5 cm, is best kept in pairs or singly. Tigrigobius macrodon is a peaceful fish, though initially quite shy, and is well-suited for reef aquariums. It requires a tank with a minimum volume of 100 liters. It is important to provide enough hiding spaces, such as live rocks or small caves. Stable water parameters and a varied diet are key to its well-being. This peaceful fish can be kept with other small, peaceful species.
