Scissortail Goby Ptereleotris evides

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