Description
The Citron Goby (Fiji) is a small, colorful fish known for its vibrant yellow body accented with striking blue and green markings. This goby is a popular choice for nano and reef aquariums due to its peaceful demeanor and relatively easy care requirements, making it ideal for both beginner and experienced aquarists.
Native to the reefs of Fiji, the Citron Goby thrives in environments with plenty of rockwork and hiding spots, where it can establish a territory and feel secure. Its peaceful nature allows it to coexist well with other small, non-aggressive fish and invertebrates, making it a great addition to community tanks.
As an omnivore, the Citron Goby enjoys a varied diet that includes high-quality pellets, flakes, and frozen foods such as brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. Regular feedings will help maintain its health and vibrant colors.
With a maximum size of only 2 inches, this goby is suitable for smaller tanks, with a minimum recommended size of 10 gallons. The Citron Goby is not only visually appealing but also adds personality and activity to a reef or nano aquarium, making it a delightful choice for marine enthusiasts.
