💎 Blue Neon Stiphodon Goby (Stiphodon atropurpureus) – Peaceful, Algae-Grazing Gem

The Blue Neon Stiphodon Goby (Stiphodon atropurpureus) is a stunning, peaceful freshwater goby famous for its iridescent blue shimmer that glows across its sleek body. Native to the clean, fast-flowing mountain streams of Southeast Asia, this small species is both an excellent algae grazer and a breathtaking display fish for planted aquariums. 🌿🐠

Males develop intense neon-blue coloration and elongated fins, while females are more subdued with soft golden hues. Stiphodon Gobies thrive in well-oxygenated tanks with sandy or rocky bottoms, mild current, and abundant algae or biofilm to graze on. They are ideal for peaceful community or river-style aquariums. ✨
