Info
Callogobius crassus likes to inhabit deep reef crevices in the sea, where the small fish is well protected from hungry predators.
From time to time this goby reaches the E^European specialized trade via importers like De Jong Marinelife, for a goby then an amount of approx. 47€ - 50€ is quickly called.
Usually the optically clearly more conspicuous young fish are offered.
Who wants to acquire such a goby, should be aware that the tank, or the reef structure must offer sufficient retreat possibilities, so that the goby, as in the sea, can hide quickly if necessary.
"Etymology:
From the Latin adjective "crassus," meaning "firm" or "thick."
The species epithet refers to the body shape of the species, which is relatively stout and robust for a member of the genus Callogobius.
Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
