Dwarf Bumble Bee Goby (1.5cm)
Dwarf Bumble Bee Gobies are an aptly named fish native to brackish and fresh waters of South-east Asia. They thrive in hard alkaline water and benefit from a small amount of salt added to the aquarium (e.g. 1 teaspoon per 10 litres). These fish prefer live foods such as blackworms and are excellent community fish, typically found in the lower areas of the tank.
Like all gobies, they spend much of their time darting among rocks, pebbles, or resting on wood and leaves in the mid to lower regions of the aquarium.
They are compatible with other peaceful, similarly sized fish species.
Bumblebee gobies (Brachygobius) are suitable for tanks with a balanced, calm environment.

The dwarf bumble bee goby is active and adds a lot of interest to the tank. I’ve kept them with small tetras and they coexist well. They eat blackworms readily and stay in the lower areas as expected. Easy to care for and very peaceful.

They arrived healthy and have been active since day one. I added a bit of salt as recommended and they seem to be adjusting well. They don’t need much food and are a great addition to a community tank.

These little fish are lively and make the tank more dynamic. I noticed they hide under rocks during the day and come out at night. They’re easy to maintain and don’t stress other fish.
