Fast Facts

This peaceful fish is a member of the family Microdesmidae, which are referred to as dartfishes, close relatives of the popular Firefish. It is light green with pink bars on the body, a pink blotch on the gill cover and blue lines on the head. The bar goby should be kept with less aggressive tankmates in an aquarium with numerous places to hide. It is often reluctant to come out of hiding for a week or two, but once it is fully acclimated it will swim about the tank without reservation. These gobies are rarely aggressive towards other fishes, and can be kept in small groups in the aquarium.
