This species, often known as the Blue Neon Goby, is distinguished by a brilliant blue stripe down its side. The rest of this long-bodied fish is a dark brown to black with a whitish ventrum.<\/span><\/p>\n

The neon goby resembles the Broadstripe Goby (Elacatinus prochilos) and Sharknose Goby in colour (Elacatinus evelynae). They have a body form that is quite similar to the Yellowline Goby (Elacatinus figaro), and they have been mated together to produce gobies with a yellow to blue stripe. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Electric Blue Neon Dwarf Goby (Stiphodon atropurpureus), a freshwater fish native to Asia, might be confused with the Neon Goby.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stiphodon Gobies are lovely, friendly fish that have adapted to an amphidromous lifestyle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NOTE<\/b>: Gobies are superb climbers and can readily escape from any aquarium with a loose-fitting top. You’ll be glad you did if you keep it tight.<\/span><\/p>\n
