Common name: Freshwater bumblebee goby
Scientific name: Brachygobius xanthomelas Herre, 1937
Origin: Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.
Size: Around 2cm/0.75"
Diet: Probably zooplanktivorous, so offer small frozen foods, such as brineshrimp and Daphnia.
they are choosy about foods, but relish newly hatched brineshrimp but only picked at other foods, including frozen Cyclops, lobster eggs and Daphnia.
Water: This is one of a couple of species of bumblebee goby to occur only in freshwater, so there's no need to add salt. John kept his in softwater (50% rainwater) at about 3GH, pH 6.0 and a temperature of 80F. His fish have spawned once, so the conditions do seem appropriate.
