Our Guide To Keeping Rainbow Goby Fish
-
About Fish Species:
- Scientific name: Stiphodon semoni
- Common name: Rainbow Goby
- Family: Gobiidae
- Origin: Western Pacific, including Indonesia and Papua New Guinea
- Adult length: Approximately 3 to 4 cm
- Lifespan: 2 to 3 years
-
Tank Setup:
- Rainbow Gobies require a tank with plenty of hiding spots provided by rocks, driftwood, and plants.
- They prefer a tank with a moderate to strong water flow to mimic their natural habitat in fast-flowing streams.
-
Water Parameters:
- Rainbow Gobies thrive in slightly acidic to neutral water conditions with a pH range of 7.0 to 8.0.
- Keep the water temperature between 22 to 28°C (72 to 82°F).
-
Filtration and Water Flow:
- A strong filtration system with a moderate to strong water flow is recommended to maintain water quality and simulate their natural environment.
-
Diet:
- Rainbow Gobies are omnivores and should be provided with a varied diet including algae-based foods, small live or frozen foods like daphnia, brine shrimp, or bloodworms.
-
Tank mates:
- Rainbow Gobies can be territorial, especially towards other males of their species, so it's best to keep them in a single male to multiple female ratio.
- They are compatible with other peaceful fish species that can tolerate their territorial behavior, such as small peaceful tetras, rasboras, or other small peaceful gobies.
-
Behavior and Compatibility:
- Rainbow Gobies are active and colorful fish that display interesting behaviors, including grazing on algae and establishing territories.
- Provide plenty of hiding spots and space for each fish to reduce aggression and territorial disputes.
