lebt bei mir unter dem kompletten Riff. Nachts wir das ganze Gestein nach fressbarem abgesucht. Muß nicht speziell gefüttert werden.

Hat keinen Bock auf ne Symbiosegrundel gehabt die wurde dann irgendwann erlegt. Wer nicht hören will muß fühlen.

Hat meinen Pfeilschwanzkrebs gesprengt der war ihm wohl zu groß geworden. R.I.P.

Geschlechtsunterschied: Die ersten beiden Schwimmbeinpaare sind beim Männchen zu Gonopoden umgebildet; dieses Begattungsorgan ist sehr gut zu erkennen da es länger ist als die übrigen Schwimmbeine. Die Weibchen haben normale Schwimmbeine.

Es gibt keine Geschlechtsumwandlung.
