The Blue Neon Goby, known scientifically as Stiphodon atropurpureus, is a stunning addition to any aquarium. With its vibrant blue color and unique shape, this fish is sure to catch the eye of any fish enthusiast. These little critters are able to climb walls of aquariums, so we recommend having a lid on the aquarium to prevent them from escaping.
The Blue Neon Goby are pretty easy to care for as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.

The Blue Neon Goby is a beautiful and active fish. It quickly adapted to my 10-gallon tank after a few days. I noticed it climbing the glass, so I added a lid right away. The water parameters stayed stable, and the fish looks vibrant every day.

Easy to set up and very colorful. I was a bit worried about the climbing behavior, but the lid solved that. The fish seems healthy and active. I’d recommend it to anyone starting a small aquarium.

Arrived safely via UPS. The fish was active and seemed calm in the packaging. After introducing it to a cycled tank, it settled in well. The blue color stands out in my tank and adds a nice visual element.
