📌 Water Conditions:

  • pH: Maintain between 6.5–7.5
  • Temperature: Keep within 72–78°F (22–26°C)
  • Water Hardness: Prefer soft to moderately hard water; stable conditions are key.
    Tip: Use a quality water conditioner to remove chlorine and ensure stable water parameters.

📌 Tank Setup:

  • Size: A tank of at least 10–20 gallons is recommended to provide ample space for their active foraging and natural behavior.
  • Decor: Provide a well-planted aquascape with plenty of open substrate areas, hiding spots (like small caves or driftwood), and soft substrate (sand or fine gravel) to protect their delicate barbels.
  • Lighting: Use gentle, diffused LED lighting to enhance their natural coloration without causing stress.

📌 Feeding:
Offer a varied diet of high-quality sinking pellets, micro-crumbs, and occasional live or frozen foods (such as daphnia or brine shrimp). Their natural scavenging behavior is enhanced with supplemental feedings to ensure balanced nutrition.

📌 Maintenance:
Perform regular partial water changes (20–30% weekly) and vacuum the substrate to remove detritus, ensuring a clean environment that supports the gobies’ active lifestyle.

Bumblebee Gobies are best kept in small groups (at least 3–5 individuals) to encourage natural schooling and reduce any potential territorial behavior. They are peaceful and work well with other small, community fish.
