Mugilogobius mertoni

Institutional reference fish range from banded to densely chequered appearances. A modern study showed that mertoni-like fishes can include distinct species, so this wild-caught 3-5 cm offer does not certify a specific coastal population or exact colour pattern. The supplier mertoni identification is retained without assigning another cryptic species.

For verified nominal mertoni, keeper advice gives 25-28 C, good oxygenation and mature filtered housing with sand, rock or wood refuges. Confirm actual measured salinity and water chemistry rather than adding an unmeasured salt dose. Offer varied small live or frozen foods and verify prepared-food acceptance. Avoid swallowable tiny fish and provide visual barriers between competing males.
