Amblygobius linki, or Link’s Goby, is a peaceful and fascinating addition to any marine aquarium. This tank-bred specimen is available in various sizes, making it suitable for hobbyists with different tank setups.
Known for its sand-sifting behaviour, Amblygobius linki helps maintain substrate cleanliness by sifting through the sand bed in search of food particles. This natural behaviour also adds dynamic activity to the aquarium environment.

- Diet: Omnivorous; feeds on small invertebrates, algae, and prepared sinking pellets or frozen foods.
- Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (approximately 20 gallons) is recommended to provide adequate space for natural behaviour.
- Water Parameters: Stable marine conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity 1.020-1.025 SG, and pH 8.1-8.4.
- Placement: Best kept over sandy substrate to allow natural sand-sifting; provide ample hiding spots with live rock.
Compatibility
This species is reef safe and compatible with a wide range of peaceful tank mates. Avoid aggressive or overly territorial species to reduce stress.
Additional Notes
