High Fin Red Banded Goby
Also known as the High Fin Goby or High Fin Red Banded Shrimp Goby, this small and peaceful species is loved for its striking red-and-white banding, tall dorsal fin, and fascinating symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimp. A perfect addition to nano and peaceful reef aquariums.
🟢 Quarantined (Minimum 2 Weeks) – Fully Conditioned & Eating

Behavior & Husbandry
High Fin Gobies spend much of their time near the entrance of their burrow, often pairing naturally with pistol shrimp in a fascinating symbiotic relationship. The shrimp maintains the burrow while the goby acts as a lookout for danger.
They prefer aquariums with sand beds, stable rockwork, and peaceful tankmates. Due to their shy nature and small size, they do best in calm reef environments without aggressive or overly active fish.
A secure lid is recommended, as gobies may jump when startled.
