Railway Sleeper Goby (Valenciennea helsdingenii)

The Railway Sleeper Goby (Valenciennea helsdingenii), also known as the Sand Sifter Goby, is native to the tropical seas of Southeast Asia and extending down towards Australia. These fish have a naturally timid temperament and will spend most of their time down in the sandy substrate. They are generally peaceful micropredators and feed by sifting through the sand, keeping your substrate well oxygenated as well as adding a striking splash of color and personality to your setup.
