Scissortail Goby - Ptereleotris evides

  The Scissortail Goby is known as the Scissortail Dartfish and has a blue body with a white head with anal fins and dorsal fins. It should be kept in a 30 gallon or larger aquarium system with a tight-fitting lid to keep it from jumping out of the tank and plenty of loose coral rubble. It rarely becomes aggresive with other fish species, but it can be territorial at times. Fighting is sometimes. It usually requires ample swimming room in the tank for it to be most happy in its marine environment.
