Description
The Blue Streamgoby is a small, vibrant freshwater goby known for its striking blue coloration, particularly in males. These fish are primarily grazers, feeding on biofilm and diatoms in clear, fast-flowing streams. They are peaceful and best suited for a well-oxygenated aquarium with plenty of rockwork and plants.
