Info
Priolepis billbrooksi is one of two recently first described gobies from the waters of Milne Bay Province in Papua New Guinea.
The goby species Priolepis lives as a protogynous [G1] hermaphrodite [G2] (first female and later male).
Especially these waters in Papua New Guinea represent a veritable source of newly discovered species and will continue to represent many new fish species in the future, especially frequently discovered and described by the renowned ichthyologists Dr. Gerry Allen and Dr. Mark V. Erdmann are discovered and described.
The second described goby species is named Gobiopsis jackbrooksi.
The English name of Priolepis billbrooksi - Citron Goby - refers to the bright yellow color of the animals.
Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
