About Bumble Bee Shrimp Goby

General information

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.

Cautions

Gobies are considered jumpers make sure your aquarium has a tight-fitting canopy or screen cover to prevent the Gobie from jumping out of your aquarium. Gobies have been known to jump through the smallest of holes in a canopy.
