Fluorescent Blue Dwarf Goby

The Blue Neon Goby (Stiphodon atropurpureus) is a small freshwater goby native to clear, well-oxygenated rivers in Asia, particularly Taiwan and Japan. It is highly valued for the stunning electric blue reflections of the males, especially during breeding season, which contrast beautifully with its dark body.

Peaceful, active, and non-aggressive, this goby is perfect for a calm community aquarium. It prefers well-filtered tanks with good current, smooth rocks, sand, and ample algae or biofilm growth.

Ideal Parameters:

• Adult size: 4 to 5 cm

• Temperature: 22 to 26 °C

• pH: 6.5 to 7.5

• GH: 6 to 12 °dGH

• Behavior: peaceful, to be kept alone or in small groups

• Diet: herbivore (biofilm, algae, spirulina, bottom feeder pellets)

The Blue Neon Goby is a beautiful sight to behold, ideal for stream-type aquariums or for enthusiasts of discreet and colorful fish.
