General info about Pink and Blue Shrimp goby

The Pink and Blue Spotted Goby's head and body are yellow to tan with pink spots surrounded by smaller blue spots. It requires plenty of loose coral rubble, ample swimming room, and a sand bottom for burrowing. It rarely becomes aggressive towards other fish, but it is territorial and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair. It may try to jump out of the aquarium or other small openings, therefore, a tight-fitting lid is required.

Caution with Pink and Blue Shrimp goby

Gobies are considered jumpers make sure your aquarium has a tight-fitting canopy or screen cover to prevent the Gobie from jumping out of your aquarium. Gobies have been known to jump through the smallest of holes in a canopy.
