Colin's Fairy Goby

(Tryssogobius colini)

Tryssogobius Gobies should be added to well established aquariums. Plenty of stable rock work, cracks, crevices and caves should be provided for hiding. Tryssogobius Gobies are small and fit well in most reef aquariums. A diet of meaty and algae based foods should be provided twice daily. Tryssogobius Gobies are very timid and should be housed with other peaceful tank mates. They prefer to live singly or in pairs as they may become aggressive to other Goby species. Provide a tight fitting aquarium as Gobies may jump.

Colin's Fairy Goby are also sometimes known simply as the Blue Eyed Tiny Dart Goby. Rarely seen in the aquarium trade. Colin's Fairy Gobies are an overall silver color with blue and yellow stripes on their fins. Colin's Fairy Gobies can grow to a little over 1".

We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 10 gallons or larger for this species.
