Do you think it might cause problems to keep Paracheiroden innesi and Tateurndina ocellicauda in the same tank? I`ve just kept the goby with bigger fishes...
Greetings, In terms of water chemistry and temperament they should be fine. But I will make a point that gets overlooked all too often by aquarists: Neon...
Hi guys. I have a "gold" (light yellow, no splotchy markings) variety of this fish. Does anyone know if this variation is naturally ocurring, or is it the...
Hello group! I'm looking to get BBGs soon. However, while doing my research I discovered contradicting information. Some people keep their BBGs in a Brackish...
BBGs aren't fussed about water chemistry; I'm pretty sure the main reason they die in captivity is starvation, not water chemistry. They are very picky feeders...
Now are we talking about Bumblebee Gobies? I have spawned them, Brachygobius xanthozonus and have the babies growing up in the adult colony now and feed them...
Hi. Good luck with your BBGs. I have some and they're great. They are able to stick to the glass and they get along with my figure 8 puffer. I do not have much...

Good luck with that; I have spawned Bumblebee Gobies and that is it. I am learning a lot more about gobies but I am not an expert. However if you need someone...
Hey, back again! Thanks everyone for your awesome responses. I have my dear BBGS in a brackish tank probably 1.007 which I want to bring down to 1.005. I have...
Hey Neale! Thanks for the great reply. You keep brine shrimp with them? Wow, I have to give that a try. Right now I have my four BBGs in a divided tank with my...
I've had Bumblebee Gobies, same group, for a little over 2 years now. They are in brackish (Instant Ocean) @ 1.008 > 1.003. I've usually had some livebearers...
noticed on a stocklist that COBALT BLUE SUMATRAN GOBY STIPHODON PURPUEUATROS (assume that to be s. atropurpureus) however, details with regard care are rather...
... I keep mine at 7.2-7.6, which seems to work well. Temp range is right. and they do love algae, but will also eat frozen bloodworms, frozen mysis, and flake...
Hi folks. I recently received the goby in the pic from my India supplier. They came in as B. nunus. However, I can not verify that these fish are indeed that...
Looks like xanthomelas to me however the color could come in. xanthomelas have 5 bands nanus have 4 bands. The middle band is broken up and spotted. "Frank...

Not supposed to be. Could be one of dozen species of bumblebees known. However I do not know of any bumblebees that come from India, the closest I know of...

Under Naomi Delventhal's advice, I've been encouraging fishkeepers not to get to hung up on identifying Brachygobius to species level. My understanding is that...
Having been trained as an ichthyologist I do count scales and do all of the other morphological stuff that goes with it. Nothing worse than a fish in my...

Keep us posted and if you ever want to send a dead one my way let me know. ... Can't help it. I'm obsessive that way <<G>>. ... Well, I can do both counts, so...
Frank, For what it's worth, your fish does look a lot like B. nunus as show in the Aqualog 'Brackish-Water Fishes' book (p. 49). The fish photographed there...
Hello Frank - that looks like B. nunus to me, and that's based on my examination of Alcock's syntypes, which came from Port Canning, lower Bengal. There is...
