Bumblebee Goby
Bumblebee Goby
Description
The Bumblebee Goby is a small and eye-catching goby recognised by its distinctive yellow and black banded body, giving it its popular bumblebee-like appearance. Its tiny size and unique personality make it a favourite among nano and specialty aquarium keepers.
Bumblebee Gobies are active bottom-dwellers that enjoy exploring plants, rocks and other aquarium décor. They can be territorial with their own kind, so providing plenty of hiding places is beneficial.
