Valenciennea strigata, also known as the bluecheek goby, is an elegant and functional species in a reef aquarium. This goby is distinguished by its white body, bright yellow head, and a thin blue line under each eye, which gives it its common name.
Like other gobies of the Valenciennea genus, the Valenciennea strigata sifts through the sand to extract microorganisms, while ensuring the natural cleaning of the substrate. It is not only aesthetically pleasing but also very useful in a reef tank.
It builds a protective burrow using sand and small fragments of coral. For this, it is essential to provide it with a soft sandy bottom. This goby thrives particularly well when introduced in pairs.
Valenciennea strigata is an ideal reef goby for aquarists seeking a natural sand cleaner with understated elegance. Best kept in pairs for even more interesting observation.
