I bought three bumblebee gobies and they’ve been active and curious since arrival. They hide in the rocks but show up when you check the tank. Easy to care for and add a lot of charm to the setup.

The fish arrived healthy and seem to be adjusting well. I keep them in a 10-gallon tank with some live plants and hiding spots. They don’t seem aggressive with other fish, which is great.

These gobies are very active and colorful. I noticed them peeking out from behind the decorations. The group size helps reduce stress and makes them more visible.
