Rhinogobius sp. (“Gold Fin Goby”)

The Gold Fin Goby is a compact, eye-catching freshwater jewel measuring around 4 cm in length. Its standout feature is glowing golden fin accents that contrast brilliantly against its streamlined body, making it a vibrant focal point in planted and nano aquaria.

Care Instructions

• Tank Setup: A well-planted nano or small aquarium (minimum 10 gallons) with fine sand or smooth gravel, rocks, and caves for resting and hiding.

• Water Quality: Keep the water clean, well-oxygenated, and gently flowing to mimic its natural stream habitat.

• Diet: Omnivorous—feeds eagerly on micro pellets, fine flakes, and small live or frozen foods like daphnia.

• Behavior & Tankmates: Generally peaceful but has mild territorial tendencies. Pair with small, non-aggressive community species.

• Security: A tight-fitting lid is important, as gobies can be surprisingly skilled jumpers.
