General info about Bumble Bee Shrimp Goby

It has a white body with broad orange-red bands and tiny blue spots. The dorsal fin has red and blue dots. It should be kept in a tank with a sand bed to allow them to burrows in. It prefers to have peaceful tank mates and plenty of hiding places. Small groups or pairs tend to do better in an aquarium, but need to be introduced to the tank simultaneously. Fairly hardy, and highly disease resistant, the Wheeler's Watchman Goby has been known to spawn successfully in an aquarium.
