Name: Bumblebee Goby Max Size: Bumblebee Gobies are small, typically growing up to 1.5 inches in length. Water Parameters: These gobies thrive in brackish water conditions with a specific gravity of around 1.005 to 1.015, a pH range of 7.0 to 8.0, and a temperature between 75-82°F (24-28°C). They can live in fresh water, though lifespan may decrease. Diet: Bumblebee Gobies are carnivores and prefer a diet consisting of small live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and small crustaceans. They may also accept high-quality sinking pellets. Temperament: Generally peaceful, but they can be territorial, especially during breeding. It's recommended to keep them in groups, and they may not be suitable for a community tank with larger, aggressive fish. Tank Setup: Provide a tank with plenty of hiding spots, such as caves and decorations. The substrate should be fine-grained to mimic their natural habitat. Adequate filtration is necessary. Compatibility: Bumblebee Gobies are best kept with their own kind or other small, peaceful brackish water species. Avoid keeping them with larger or aggressive tank mates. Behavior: Bumblebee Gobies are known for their interesting behavior, including perching on objects and darting movements. They may also burrow in the substrate. Fun Fact: These gobies are named for their striking black and yellow stripes, resembling the colors of a bumblebee, making them a visually attractive addition to a brackish aquarium.
