PPinkbar Goby is also commonly known as Shrimp Goby due to the symbiotic relationship that it can have between it and different shrimp. The body of the fish is marked with pink rings and it has a yellowish-colored tail that has sparkling pink dots, that are outlined in blue. It should be kept in the 10 gallon or greater aquarium that has plenty of coral rubble. It requires plenty of room to swim with a sand bottom to allow for burrowing. It could try to jump out of the tank or any other opening that is small which is why a tightly-fitting lid is necessary. Rarely, it will be aggressive toward other fish, but it will be a bit aggressive towards its own species unless the event of a mating pair. It feeds on prey in the column of water, however, it will also eat food from the surface as well. Its diet should include mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, table shrimp, and frozen preparations of food for carnivores. It should be fed a minimum of three times per day.

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
