Easy to care for and very active in a 10-gallon tank. The blue stripes are vibrant and stand out well. Kept it with a few other small fish and it didn’t show aggression. Spotted a few eggs in a shell after a few weeks, which was a nice surprise.

Great addition to a nano reef. The fish is calm and doesn’t stress other tank mates. Only kept one because it got territorial with another goby. Would recommend for small tanks with compatible species.

Arrived healthy and active. The color is bright and the fish swims gracefully. No issues with water parameters or behavior. Perfect for beginners looking for a colorful, low-maintenance fish.
