The Bumblebee Goby arrived healthy and has been active in my 15-gallon tank. It stays near the bottom and occasionally hunts small shrimp. Very active and not aggressive with other fish. Good for a small community tank.

It’s a small fish but very interesting to watch. I noticed it chasing shrimp, which is expected. It’s not overly aggressive and fits well in a 20-gallon tank with other peaceful species.

The fish arrived fine and seems to be adjusting well. I’ve seen it move around the substrate. It’s not the most interactive, but it’s a good addition to a small aquarium.
