The Blue-Stripe Cave Goby, scientifically known as Trimma tevegae, is a tiny but fascinating fish that goes by various common names, such as Bluestripe Pygmygoby and Tevegae Pygmygoby. These petite creatures can be found in the waters of the western Pacific Ocean, where they seek refuge within caves and crevices, sustenance coming from small crustaceans and zooplankton. With a maximum size of merely 2 inches, they tend to spend the majority of their lives sheltered in schools amidst rock formations. It is essential to avoid housing them with predatory or aggressive fish, as they prefer the company of their own kind in a small school. Their carnivorous diet should consist of mysis or small crustaceans. Keeping them in an aquarium with a minimum capacity of 10 gallons will provide a suitable environment for these intriguing Blue-Stripe Cave Gobies.
