Commonly called Neon Goby...

Adapted from www.liveaquaria.com:

Neon Goby (Elacatinus oceanops)

The head and sleek body of the Neon Goby, also known as the Neon Blue Goby, are dark blue with a striking horizontal light-blue stripe on each side beginning above the eye and running the entire length of the body. The Neon Goby is a very hardy fish, and because its small size, is a great addition to a small reef tank.

It should be housed in a 10-gallon or larger aquarium. It is a cleaner species which will service tank mates and help control some diseases. Rarely will it become aggressive towards other fish, but it is territorial, and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair.

It is common for the Neon Goby to spawn in an aquarium, laying its eggs in a crevice or empty shell.

It feeds on a variety of live and frozen brine shrimp, frozen mysid shrimp, table shrimp, and frozen food preparations for carnivores. If kept in a reef tank, the Neon Goby should be fed once per day.

dnutz,

The 1st pic fish how big ah ?

Looks big in the pic leh.

Neon Goby should only be an inch to 2 only.

The 2nd pic is the real deal.

Saw at farmway 2 on Wed but the shipment was yellow stripes.

That's not a neon goby.

Plagiotremus rhinorhynchos aka Bluestripe Fangblenny

To almost five inches in length. Bites scales off of other fishes, and even nips divers... Not a pleasant tankmate. Juveniles mimic the Cleaner Wrasse, Labroides dimidiatus.
