What that means is that you can rest assured knowing this specimen received the highest level of care from our experienced and professional LiveAquaria® staff!

PLUS, hobbyists that use our LiveAquaria® Professional Reef Salt have the added benefit knowing marine species shipped from our LiveAquaria® Wisconsin Facility share the same water parameters. In other words, if you use our Professional Reef Salt, marine species shipped from our Wisconsin Facility will acclimate and transition to your home aquarium with less stress to set the foundation for longer term success.

The Scissortail Goby, also known as the Scissortail Dartfish, has a white head and blue body with large dorsal and anal fins.

It should be housed in a 30 gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of loose coral rubble, and a tight-fitting lid to prevent it from jumping out of the tank. It requires ample swimming room and a sand bottom for burrowing. It will rarely become aggressive towards other fish, but is territorial, and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair.

The Scissortail Goby diet should include chopped or shaved seafood, brine shrimp, and mysis shrimp.

Approximate Purchase Size: 1" to 4"

Customer Testimonials

Glen H San Diego , CA
This guy is great. He's created a home under one of my rocks and is always sticking his head out waiting for food. He's a great addition. Glad I got him.
Jane Datz Rochester , NY
Bought a group of three. Down to one before even getting out of the quarantine tank. They are so beautiful and charming but even with a lid they managed to jump. Brought them in with some zebras and they all got a long. I am heart broken. Make sure your tank is escape proof!
