Blue Neon Goby

The Blue Neon Goby (Elacatinus oceanops) is a small, peaceful saltwater fish known for its striking electric-blue stripe that runs from nose to tail. Despite its small size, it stands out beautifully in reef aquariums and often serves as a natural cleaner fish, picking parasites from tankmates.

Hardy and active, the Blue Neon Goby thrives in both nano tanks and larger reef setups. Its peaceful temperament makes it an excellent community fish, and it is completely reef safe. This goby is also aquacultured, making it a sustainable choice for hobbyists.
