The Bella Goby (Elacatinus puncticulatus) is a captivating marine fish that adds vibrant colors and activity to your aquarium. Here’s what you need to know about this delightful species:

• Appearance: Bella Gobies feature a stunning rose and orange-colored body with blue lines on their face. Their head is yellow-gold with sapphire-blue stripes below the eyes, while the chin and belly are off-white.
• Behavior: These gobies are very peaceful and can coexist with other calm fish in a reef tank. However, in smaller tanks, they may become territorial toward other blennies, gobies, or dartfish.
• Tank Requirements: To keep Bella Gobies happy, provide an established tank with a sand bed. A 55-gallon tank or larger is recommended due to their active nature and eventual size (up to 6 inches). Create rock structures with tunnels and hiding spots for them.
• Diet: Bella Gobies are carnivores and not picky eaters. Offer frozen foods like brine or mysis shrimp cubes, high-quality flakes, or pellets. They adjust well to various food types.
