About the Red Tailed Goby

Name: Red Tailed Goby

Max Size: Up to 2.5 inches (6 cm)

Recommend pH: 7.8-8.4

Recommended Temperature (Β°F): 75-82Β°F (24-28Β°C)

Diet: Red Tailed Gobies are omnivorous and have a hearty appetite. They will accept a wide range of foods including high-quality flakes, pellets, frozen or live brine shrimp, bloodworms, and small crustaceans. It is also beneficial to provide them with some vegetable matter in their diet, such as blanched spinach or algae-based flakes.

Temperament: Red Tailed Gobies are generally peaceful and non-aggressive, making them suitable for community aquariums. However, they can become territorial during breeding or if overcrowded. Providing ample hiding places and space for each individual is important to minimize territorial aggression.

Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Red Tailed Gobies are non-schooling fish. They can be kept as solitary individuals or in small groups, depending on the size of the aquarium and individual behavior.

Possible types of tank mates: They can be kept with other peaceful community fish that share similar water requirements. Good tank mates include small tetras, rasboras, peaceful dwarf cichlids, and other non-aggressive species. Avoid keeping them with fin-nipping or aggressive fish that may harass or damage their long fins.

Behavior: Red Tailed Gobies are known for their vibrant colors and the distinctive red coloration on the lower portion of their tail fin. They are active and agile swimmers, often darting around the aquarium and exploring their surroundings. These gobies have a unique ability to cling to vertical surfaces, thanks to a modified pelvic fin called the "sucker belly." They use this adaptation to attach themselves to rocks, driftwood, or the glass walls of the aquarium. They are generally peaceful and can be observed engaging in natural behaviors like foraging for food and interacting with their environment.

Fun Fact: Red Tailed Gobies are part of the Gobiidae family, which is one of the largest fish families with over 2,000 known species. These gobies are often found in coastal areas and estuaries, where they play important roles in the ecosystem. They are efficient algae grazers and can help control algae growth in the aquarium. Their vibrant colors and unique characteristics make them a fascinating addition to any aquarium setup.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
