The Tangaroa Goby is a peaceful species and is an ideal addition to any tank containing live rock and a sand bed of at least 10 gallons. When kept in groups, they may quarrel with each other if the aquarium is not large enough. Therefore, it is recommended to keep one Tangaroa Goby per tank to promote harmony. Additionally, they are not aggressive towards other shrimp gobies and can often share a burrow with them.
This diet should be supplemented with occasional feedings of frozen or freeze-dried plankton and krill. Additionally, it is important to provide a variety of food. This will help ensure optimal health and nutrition for the Tangaroa Goby.
