Rhinogobius candidianus is a small, active goby that thrives in aquaria with ample hiding spots provided by rocks and driftwood. A species that is best kept in a species-specific biotope or a carefully selected community tank. It exhibits interesting behaviors and is relatively hardy if maintained in optimal water conditions. Due to its territorial nature, it fares better in a spacious tank environment with controlled numbers of other fish.
