I would imagine so, I was told my 5.5 gal hex tank was fine, for a male n 2 females

Rhinogobius wui (actually i think they have changed the name again recently but i cant think what it is) are a temperate dwelling species that wont live long when kept at standard tropical temperatures, they do best when kept at room temperature (below 20c but not below 10c) in freshwater with pleanty of aeration and a gentle current. Keep them on a sand substrate with pleanty of slate or flat rockes laid over the sand under which they will dig burrows and tunnels to live and breed in. They breed quite easily though they have small clutches of 8 or so eggs and the fry are tiny and difficult to raise (actually theyre difficult to even see let alone feed!) despite the eggs being quite large. A single male/female pair could be kept in a 5g tank.
