Bumblebee Fish or Bumblebee Goby, synonym: Brachygobius xanthozona is freshwater ornamental fish derived from the Greater Sunda Islands in Indonesia.
'Bumblebee Gobies' will generally not accept flakes and live food is recommended, however frozen meaty food and freeze dried food may sometimes be taken. Start feeding them with live bloodworms, blackworms, bbs, etc and then gradually introduce frozen versions of such food. If the frozen worms or shrimp are seen to move in the current they will be taken. Then you can make such food the staple, but feed them live specimens at least once a week. Add plants, rocks, driftwood, etc. so territories can be staked. Addition of marine salt to the water to simulate low end brackish conditions is recommended.
Bumblebee Goby like seen in pictures is a very colorful and attractive fish that stays very small. Although it has been found and can be kept in freshwater, this fish does better in a brackish water set-up.
The Bumblebee Goby prefers a moderately low current especially in the bottom area of the tank where this fish resides. Live black worms and live brine shrimp are both relished.
