Scissortail Dartfish
The Scissortail Goby, also known as the Scissortail Dartfish, has a white head and blue body with large dorsal and anal fins.
It should be housed in a 30 gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of loose coral rubble, and a tight-fitting lid to prevent it from jumping out of the tank. It requires ample swimming room and a sand bottom for burrowing. It will rarely become aggressive towards other fish, but is territorial, and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair.
The Scissortail Goby diet should include chopped or shaved seafood, brine shrimp, and mysis shrimp.

The Scissortail Dartfish is a beautiful addition to my reef tank. It’s active and enjoys digging in the sand. I’ve kept it with a few peaceful species, and it hasn’t shown aggression. Feeding it brine shrimp and mysis shrimp works well. It’s a great choice for a mid-sized tank with proper setup.

I was a bit worried about its territorial nature, but after adding a second male, they settled into a peaceful coexistence. The fish is active and colorful, and it loves the sand bottom. I feed it a mix of seafood and live foods regularly.

The blue and white coloration stands out in the tank. It’s easy to care for and doesn’t require much attention. I keep it in a 40-gallon tank with coral rubble and sand. It’s a joy to watch as it moves around and burrows.
