The Bar Goby is a beautiful addition to my 40-gallon reef tank. It’s active but not aggressive and blends well with other fish. I feed it brine shrimp and mysis regularly. It’s easy to care for and stays healthy.

I’ve had my Bar Goby for three months now. It’s very calm and doesn’t bother other fish. The stripes are subtle but noticeable. Feeding it copepods and enriched shrimp keeps it happy and well-fed.
