General info about Yellowline Goby

The Yellowline Goby is very similar to the Neon Goby, except that it has yellow lines rather than the blue lines of the Neon Goby. Yellowlines are cleaner gobies, which are always beneficial in aquariums. The Yellowline Goby is a species native to Brazil, where export of the species is illegal, therefore making captive bred specimens the only choice for hobbyists.

Caution with Yellowline 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.
