Bluebanded Goby

Description

Endemic to Catalina Island located 25 miles off the California Coast, this brightly coloured fish comes to us from the Eastern Pacific Ocean. If you are keeping a Pacific Coast themed aquarium, the Catalina goby is an excellent choice. We offer a limited variety of colder water species for hobbyists interested in Eastern Pacific species. Catalina Gobies behave similarly to the Neon Goby and will even spawn in captivity if given the right environment. Will be peaceful to other tankmates and other Catalina Gobies. Can be kept in groups.

Diet

Live, enriched Brine Shrimp may need to be fed upon initial introduction. Feed a varied diet consisting of finely chopped meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam and mussel. It is also a good idea to occasionally supplement with some type of herbivore diet.
