Info
Tryssogobius longipes inhabits sandy and pebbly substrates , like its relatives it hovers there above the substrate.
The pretty goby is characterized by a light blue line on each fin.
Tryssogobius longipes is - from time to time - also available in German specialized trade, the price for one animal is over 45€.
In case you purchase this goby, please provide an appropriate bottom substrate and sufficient hiding places.
Aggressive fish should not be in the tank, because the goby is quite shy and hid quickly.
Etymology. From the Latin," longus", and "pes", foot; referring to the elongated pelvic fins that develops especially in males.
Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
