The Gold Neon Eviota Goby, originating from the reefs of Cebu, is a rare gem in the aquarium industry. These small gobies typically grow to a maximum length of 1 inch. Their elongated bodies display an opaque coloration with striking red vertical bands. Notably, their eyes feature eye-catching gold rims, while their noses are adorned with white markings. These active and peaceful gobies make a delightful addition to both saltwater reef and fish-only aquariums.
To provide an ideal environment for the Gold Neon Eviota Gobies, a 10-gallon or larger aquarium with ample live rock for hiding and supplemental food source is recommended. Keeping them in small groups or pairs tends to yield better results, but it is crucial to introduce them to the tank simultaneously. It is best to avoid housing these gobies with larger aggressive fish or invertebrates.
A well-balanced diet is essential for the Gold Neon Eviota Gobies, which should include a variety of fresh or frozen seafood, brine shrimp, and mysis shrimp. To meet their dietary needs, they should be fed twice per day.
