Received the Electric Blue Neon Dwarf Goby and it’s stunning. The male shows vibrant neon blue coloration. It’s very calm and coexists well with my dwarf shrimp. The tank has been mature for a few months and the algae levels are high, which suits the fish perfectly.

The fish arrived quickly via UPS. It’s a rare species and I’m happy to have this true Stiphodon atropurpureus. It’s active but not aggressive. I noticed it’s more active in the morning and hides during the day.

This is exactly what I was looking for. The blue color is vivid and the fish is very peaceful. I’ve had it for two months and it’s still thriving. The tank setup is simple but the biofilm helps it feel at home.
