General & Interesting Information On The Prison Goby
The male Prison Goby seems to grow a bit larger than the female and these Gobies seem to be fairly residential and slightly territorial. Not much is known about the Prison Goby but I enjoy catching and studying them and have found they are omnivorous and occur in tidal zones, tidal pools, estuaries and even blind rivers, where they seem to thrive. They can be found along areas with rocky bottoms and ledges, natural or artificial (They are quite fond of bridges).
