Bumblebee Goby (Brachygobius spp.)
The Bumblebee Goby is a striking nano fish with bold yellow and black bands that resemble its namesake insect. Native to brackish and freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia, this tiny goby brings unique personality and patterning to small aquariums. They prefer peaceful environments and do best in species-only or carefully selected community setups. Bumblebee Gobies often display fascinating perching behavior and appreciate tanks with plenty of hiding spots. Though small, they have big character and do best on a diet of live or frozen foods.
