The Green Banded Goby is a striking addition to my 10-gallon reef tank. Its vibrant green color and distinct banding make it stand out. It’s very peaceful and doesn’t bother other fish. I noticed it laid eggs in a small crevice, which was a pleasant surprise. A bit rare, but worth the effort to find.

I’ve had this goby for three months now and it’s been active and healthy. The coloration is vivid and the fish seems to enjoy the tank environment. It doesn’t eat much, so I only feed it once a day. Spawning was observed after a few weeks, which was exciting.

This fish is a true eye-catcher. The vertical green bands and red eye markings are very distinct. It’s small but lively and fits well in a compact tank. I appreciate that it’s not aggressive and doesn’t compete for food with other species.
