Red Lipstick Goby are a shoaling species — they need 6+ to feel safe and show their full colour. Larger shoals stay calmer, eat better, and look stunning.

Red Lipstick Goby (Sicyopus jonklaasi) is a specialist stream goby from Sri Lanka. It suits mature, oxygen-rich aquariums with rockwork, clean flow and careful feeding rather than new or low-flow community tanks.
| Scientific name | Sicyopus jonklaasi |
|---|---|
| Adult size | Around 4.5 cm |
| Minimum aquarium | 60 litres or larger |
| Temperature | 22-26 C |
| pH | 7.0-8.0 |
| Temperament | Peaceful specialist goby |
| Diet | Small meaty foods, fine sinking foods and biofilm grazing |
Build the aquarium around clean, oxygen-rich flow, smooth rockwork and mature surfaces. This is not a generic algae-eater for a new tank; it needs stable water and careful feeding.
Offer small frozen or live foods, fine sinking foods and grazing surfaces with natural biofilm. Feed modest portions so food reaches the goby without fouling the high-flow setup.
Livestock orders are packed carefully and sent by licensed live-animal courier. The Live Arrival Guarantee applies when the receiving and acclimation instructions are followed.
