Pinkbar Goby: A Peaceful Jewel for Your Reef Aquarium

Add the captivating Pinkbar Goby to your marine setup! Known for its unique partnership with pistol shrimp, this peaceful bottom-dweller brings fascinating natural behavior to your tank.

Overview
The Pinkbar Goby (*Amblyeleotris aurora*) features an elegant, elongated pearly-white body adorned with striking vertical orange-red bands. Its caudal fin often displays attractive yellow or orange flecks. This shy, intelligent goby is famed for its symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimp, where they share a burrow, with the goby acting as a vigilant lookout. Observing this natural bond is truly a highlight for any aquarist.

Care Level
Considered easy to moderate in care, the Pinkbar Goby is a peaceful marine fish, making it an excellent addition to community and reef aquariums. While generally docile, it may exhibit territoriality towards its own kind unless part of a mated pair. Avoid housing with overly aggressive tank mates that could stress this burrowing species.

Tank Essentials
A minimum tank size of 75 litres with a deep, fine sand bed is crucial for burrowing. Ensure plenty of stable rockwork for secure burrow creation. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.1-8.4 and temperature 22-28°C. A tight-fitting lid is essential as these gobies can be startled and jump.

Diet
The Pinkbar Goby is carnivorous, primarily feeding on small benthic invertebrates and zooplankton. Offer a varied diet of high-quality frozen meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, cyclopeeze, and finely chopped seafood. Multiple small feedings throughout the day are recommended.
