Description
The Blue-eyed Mulletgoby is a small, peaceful freshwater goby known for its striking blue eyes and iridescent coloration, particularly in males. They are primarily herbivorous, grazing on biofilm and algae in fast-flowing, oxygen-rich streams. These gobies thrive in aquariums with strong current, smooth rocks, and plenty of algae growth.
