Gobies & Blennies

Bottom-dwelling characters

Personality-packed substrate dwellers that add movement and interest to lower rockwork and sand beds. Gobies and blennies are generally peaceful, reef-safe, and well-suited to smaller tanks. Many gobies form fascinating symbiotic relationships with pistol shrimp, while blennies are known for their expressive eyes and quirky behaviour.
