The Bluestripe Neon Goby is a captivating small goby species. These gobies feature a predominantly black body highlighted by a vivid electric blue stripe running horizontally along their length.

Bluestripe Neon Gobies grow to a maximum size of about 2 inches and require a minimum tank size of 10 gallons. They are known for their peaceful nature and coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates. However, they may show aggression towards other small gobies, so it's advisable to introduce multiple gobies simultaneously.

Bluestripe Neon Gobies are excellent jumpers and may leap out of the tank if startled. Ensure your aquarium has a secure lid with no gaps large enough for them to escape. They thrive in environments with calm tankmates and ample rock formations for hiding when threatened.

In their natural habitat, Bluestripe Neon Gobies feed on parasites from larger fish. In aquariums, this behavior is inconsistent, so they should not be relied upon as cleaner fish. As carnivores, they require a diet rich in meaty foods, such as small pieces of mysis and brine shrimp, along with high-quality meaty frozen foods to maintain their health and vitality.
