Blue Gudgeon Goby

Blue Gudgeon Goby

In the wild and in the aquarium, the saltwater Blue Gudgeon Goby runs in small packs.  The fish keepers at AquariumFishSale recommend at least two to a purchase, and ideally four.  Also called the Blue Darter Goby for their slender appearance, they are jumpers, and the tank would be covered. The fish is hardy, grows to five inches, and will do fine in a community aquarium and a reef tank.
