Overview
The Captive-Bred Yellowline Goby is a cleaner goby species highly sought after for its brilliant, iridescent golden coloration and limited availability in the industry. As native reef species from Brazil are no longer available for export, captive-bred Yellowline Gobies are the only choice available for hobbyists. Thanks to the achievements of modern captive-breeding programs, hobbyists are able to enjoy this eye-catching specimen great for reef or nano-aquarium setups.

The Captive-Bred Yellowline Goby should be housed in a well-established 10 gallon or larger aquarium. The Captive-Bred Yellowline Goby is peaceful but may become territorial and can demonstrate aggression towards its own kind unless they are a mated pair.

In the wild, a portion of the Yellowline Goby’s natural diet consists of parasites picked off larger reef fish. The Captive-Bred Yellowline Goby should be fed a varied diet consisting of foods specifically designed for carnivores. If kept in a reef aquarium, the Captive-Bred Yellowline Goby should be fed once per day.
