Overview

Blue Stiphodon Gobies are stream grazers that spend much of their time working over stones. The supplied fish is listed as Stiphodon sp., so care should be checked against the actual animal before collection.

English name Blue Stiphodon Goby
Latin name Stiphodon sp.
Origin Indo-Pacific stream group; exact species and locality not supplied
Adult size Typically 4-6 cm for commonly traded forms; confirm the supplied species
Typical lifespan Often 3-5 years; species dependent
Temperament See compatibility guidance below.
Tank level Bottom and rock surfaces
Social needs Allow separate grazing areas and retreats, especially for males.

Tank Setup

Aquarium size At least 80 litres with a 75 × 30 cm base for commonly traded small forms; confirm adult stocking with our team.
Temperature Around 23-27°C; confirm the supplied species
pH Around 6.5-7.5; confirm the supplied species
Hardness Moderate mineral content, commonly 5-15 dGH; species dependent
Water type Freshwater

Use a thoroughly mature aquarium with strong oxygenation, suitable current and algae- and biofilm-coated stones. A new, sterile aquarium is unsuitable; fit a secure lid.

Behaviour & Compatibility

Generally peaceful with suitable stream fish, but males may defend small territories. Avoid large predators and fish that outcompete them for grazing surfaces.

Diet & Feeding

Provide established biofilm and algae growth with appropriate fine algae-based foods. These are specialised grazers; ordinary flakes alone may be insufficient.

Routine Care

Use a fully cycled aquarium before adding livestock. Check temperature, appetite and behaviour daily. Test water regularly: ammonia and nitrite must remain at zero. Make regular partial water changes with conditioned water matched to the aquarium's temperature and chemistry. Keep nitrate low and rinse biological filter media in removed aquarium water.

Check that the fish is feeding well and retains a rounded belly. Confirm species-specific requirements with our aquatic team.

Click & Collect Only

You can order online for Click & Collect. We will confirm when your livestock is ready to collect from Newlands Home and Garden Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. We do not deliver live fish or aquatic invertebrates. Please have a suitable, fully prepared aquarium ready before collection.
