Care notes:
The Hi Fin Banded Goby is a small, peaceful species known for its striking vertical banding and tall dorsal fin. It often forms a symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimp, sharing a burrow and providing lookout duties. This goby thrives in tanks with sandy substrates and plenty of rockwork or crevices for shelter. It feeds on small meaty foods such as frozen mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. Its compact size and peaceful nature make it great for nano tanks. Suitable for reef tanks and peaceful community setups.
