Amblygobius linki

The diligent sand-sifter for smaller tanks – now available as sustainable Tank Bred!

Are you looking for a useful bottom dweller that keeps your aquarium sand clean, loose, and free from unsightly deposits, but don't have a giant aquarium? The Amblygobius linki (also known as Link's Goby) is the perfect choice! As one of the smaller species among sand-sifting gobies, it's an absolute insider tip for saltwater aquariums from approx. 300 liters.

The special thing: With us, you get this diligent helper as a sustainable Tank Bred. This means maximum success during acclimatization, as the animals are already perfectly adapted to life in the aquarium.

Why you should choose a Tank Bred specimen:

 Easier acclimatization: Compared to wild-caught specimens, tank bred ones adapt much faster to a new environment.

 Feeding from day one: Our Amblygobius linki tank bred specimens readily accept common frozen food (Mysis, Artemia) as well as fine granule and flake food.

 Protection of reefs: A 100% sustainable and environmentally friendly stocking for your reef aquarium.

The perfect sand cleaner: Behavior & Care

Link's Goby impresses with an elegant appearance: A creamy white body, decorated on the upper half with three thick, horizontal black stripes, combined with almost transparent fins that show delicate red and yellow nuances.

 Natural sand cleaner: It tirelessly sifts the top layer of sand for food particles. This constantly turns over, aerates, and keeps the substrate sparkling clean.

 Nutrition & Care: Since it often doesn't find enough food in the sand alone, it should be regularly fed with frozen food (Artemia, Mysis, Artemia nauplii) as well as high-quality pellet or flake food. A quick look at its belly will tell you if it's getting enough – it should always look well-fed!

 Social behavior: It is best to keep Amblygobius linki individually or as a harmonious, stable pair. It is a peaceful aquarium inhabitant that can be easily integrated into a community tank.
