Hypseleotris compressa, also known as Empire Gudgeon, appreciates plenty of hiding places and cover and the idea being to create broken lines of sight allows for weaker individuals to escape continual attention from dominant fish. Filtration need not be strong with an air-powered sponge-type unit ideal. Feeds chiefly on a range of small invertebrates, crustaceans and similar in nature. In the aquarium, it should be offered small live or frozen food such as bloodworm, mosquito larvae, artemia, daphnia, etc., although dried foods are normally accepted as well.
