Care Notes: The Panda Goby is a peaceful, reef-associated fish native to the Indo-Pacific. It features a pale yellow to white body with distinctive black fins, giving it a panda-like appearance. This species thrives in reef aquariums with plenty of live rock and coral branches for shelter. It feeds on small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. While generally peaceful, it may become territorial towards other gobies or similar species in smaller tanks. A secure lid is recommended as it can jump. Best kept singly or in groups.
