Tank-Raised Yellowstripe Neon Goby - Elacatinus figaro

Tank Raised Yellowstripe Neon Goby Elacatinus figaro

The Tank-Raised Yellowstripe Neon Goby (Elacatinus figaro) is a small, reef-safe fish known for its bright yellow stripe and active personality. This captive-bred species is often observed interacting with other fish and may establish cleaning stations within the aquarium. Its small size makes it a good fit for a variety of marine setups, including nano reef systems. Because these specimens are tank-raised, they are already accustomed to aquarium life and readily accept prepared foods. This goby adds both color and interesting behavior to established saltwater aquariums.
