Common name: Goby

Istigobius is a genus of gobies often found in sandy or rubble substrates in tropical reefs. These small, bottom-dwelling fish are known for their distinctive behavior of sifting sand through their gills to feed on microorganisms. They exhibit cryptic coloration, blending into their surroundings to evade predators. Istigobius species are generally peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish. They are appreciated by hobbyists for their interesting behaviors and their role in turning over the substrate, which helps to keep the sand bed clean and aerated.
