Blue Gudgeon

Ptereleotris heteropterus

Blue Gudgeon Goby does best in a well-established aquarium and is recommended to be kept in groups. Also known as the Blacktail Dartfish Goby, it is a "leaper" and requires a covered aquarium. Its body is a blue-grey that fluoresces under actinic lighting. Its tail is marked with a pronounced black spot. It is completely peaceful against other species and of members of its own family. If more than one is to be placed in the same aquarium, it is best to introduce them simultaneously and to allow plenty of space. Best kept in a community tank with peaceful tankmates. If kept with more aggressive tankmates this fish will hide constantly and likely starve.


Feed a variety of foods including brine shrimp and mysis as well as frozen preparations.
