Aquacultured Neon Goby
The Neon Goby is a very hardy fish, and because its small size, is a great addition to a small reef tank. It should be housed in a 10-gallon or larger aquarium. It is a cleaner species which will service tank mates and help control some diseases. Rarely will it become aggressive towards other fish, but it is territorial, and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair. It is common for the Neon Goby to spawn in an aquarium, laying its eggs in a crevice or empty shell. It feeds on a variety of live and frozen brine shrimp, frozen mysis shrimp, table shrimp, and frozen food preparations for carnivores. If kept in a reef tank, the Neon Goby should be fed once per day.

Easy to care for and very active in the tank. It helps keep the tank clean by eating detritus and small particles. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still healthy and spawning in a shell. Great for a small reef setup.
Michael Blake –
The fish is hardy and stays calm with my other reef inhabitants. I feed it once daily with frozen brine shrimp and it seems to thrive. A little territorial, but only with other gobies.
Irene Greene –
Perfect for a small tank. It doesn’t stress other fish and helps maintain cleanliness. Spawns naturally in a crevice, which is a nice sight. Very satisfied with the purchase.
