I bought three of these in France a couple of days ago for €2,80 each. I haven't seen them in my aquarium since, I learned afterwards that they only come out at night. Great, now I know why they were so cheap.
I love bumblebee gobies. Small gobies with big personalities. I'm curious as to whether you ever had issues getting them to take non live foods? I never found them to be fussy at all about taking frozen foods, even had a few take pellets, but I hear often that they're difficult to get feeding. Great video by the way, very interesting to see the specific gravity of the water in which these ones were collected. I've typically always aimed for about 1.003 for them, but have gone as low as (fairly hard) freshwater and as high as 1.008 and didn't notice any difference in behaviour or colouration. I suspect they're not fussy, but perhaps the specific species and collection sight would be a factor.
They're a beautiful species indeed! I've had no issues with them taking frozen bloodworms but have no luck with pellets. Yes, perhaps it does. Some species seems to be ok with fresh and some do require low end brackish waters.
I just got my first bumblebee goby yesterday day for a 5 gallon tank with 2 Pygmy Corydoras 1 male guppy’s and 2 endlers Should i get more? Will he get outcompeted for food? Reply and let me know!
I’ve had these little guys for about 8 months now and unfortunately lost 3 during a move about a month ago😢 I’ve only added aquarium salt, which I now know was not the best move😅 but they’ve all been happy little dudes(at least I hope so) they get along with my Betta really well as well as the pea puffers,(pea puffers dont like the betta though) THEY DO EAT SHRIMP as my ENTIRE colony of blue shrimp got wiped out soon after they got added in the tank😭😅 I can see mine most of the day but they do disappear for a few hours during the day in my 60l/15g planted tank(big time jungle vibes) I’ve also noticed they love playing in streams of water(when I do water topups/changes), so they might prefer higher flow. Only have 3 left so I need to get some more asap, just a very seasonal fish in my area😅 Definitely the type to just zone out on, they remind me of clown fish .. but miniature🥹😂
I’m getting a goby but I was wondering if they need fresh water and I give them tap water will they still survive if they don’t how do I get Fresh water without spending lots of money
For frozen bloodworms, I will usually place them in different spots in the tank so everybody can eat. I will try to target other fish first, and once they're busy with that, target the spot where the bumblebee gobies are. 😊
I'd say it really depends on the type & character of goby and plecos. I had bumblebee gobies with otocinclus and they do fine. Other bumblebee gobies keepers has had no problem placing the two species together but do monitor them first. All the best! :D
Cant find anything online discussing about bumble bee goby issues? Ive read they dnt have swim bladders but mine cant stay submerged? Constipation maybe? What can i do about this i need help….i want to do something and fix the issue
Isn't this fish native of freshwater on Asian countries only..if i'm correct the numbers is now quite down lately and it's rarely can be found,occassionly there's null results after searching it..,probably their habitat destroyed by a pollution.., anyway as a fans of little exotic fish i’m wondering how much it would cost you for one bumblebee goby..
Indeed, they are mostly found in Southeast Asia. Their numbers have dwindled down in the wild but good news is that, breeders from all over the world are breeding them in efforts of sustaining a captive bred colony. In this video, I was kindly given these gobies by a dear friend, Projek Aqua. He caught them from his area and had given them to Be Fishy for free for research purposes. I believe in the market in Malaysia, they cost around RM5.00 minimum/fish. 😄
@@BeFishy thank you for your complete information about this fish..I'll search the bumblebee goby fish at my local aquatic pet shop if it is available..I'm actually addicted with their tiny cutie shape and that black plus orange color like a zebra horse..anyway I,ve subscribe your channel.
Hope you can breed it 😅
Thank you. That's the plan!
@@BeFishy how did it go??
He got these are pretty cool awesome 😎😍
I bought three of these in France a couple of days ago for €2,80 each. I haven't seen them in my aquarium since, I learned afterwards that they only come out at night. Great, now I know why they were so cheap.
Ahh! They do prefer subdued lighting with tons of shades. :)
My male goby is super active! I do have a lot of bushy plants throughout my tank though
All of mine are active af
Aren't they also brackish water as well?
That would be so cool! Pea, puffer and bumblebee gobys in the same tank😍😍👌
Pea puffer in Australia is about $500 for an individual so it’s a little out of the question for most 🥲
Pea puffer is fckin agrressive and you gon put goby with it?
God,go learn abt fish more
Pea puffers would kill the goby.
I have 3 pea puffers and 3 bumblebee gobys...they are good together only during feeding sometimes they may chase one another 😂
BB goby are brackish, pea puffers are fresh. Plus, peas are pretty aggressive.
I have a peacock gudgeon that is a tankmate for my baby goby. I actually wanted to bring home a pea puffer when I bought the goby, so we think alike!

I been looking for these little guys forever!
Can it stay with neon tetra ,harlequin,and black tiger Dorino? And galaxy Radnor a ?
Mine are
Love your editing style!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it.
I just got 6! Am probably going to put them in rimless after quarantine
So they jump?

Love these little guys but rarely see them in Scotland Fish Stores!
They're quite sensitive, I'm guessing but you should totally get them when you find them! They'd look great in your new house. *wink* ^_____^
Can shrimp good tank mates for bumblebee goby
Another great video! Nice footage and editing !👍
Thank you very much! Had some problems with my laptop before but I'm glad it's finally done!
I just got some do you have any more info about keeping them in freshwater?
I was thinking of reviewing my bumble goby’s soon. Great video. I may have to do it now!!! Love the gobys!!
Thank you very much! :)
what kind of salinity do you keep those rudolph shrimp at??? I had 6 but kept them in freshwater and they all eventually died
Very cute looking fish first time hearing about it.
They're absolutely adorable! Thank you for watching.
Can they live with Caridina shrimps? or they eat the mini caridina?
They snack on the shrimplets but not enough to keep the colony from growing. I have 6 in a 10 gallon planted with neocaridina
I used to call them freshwater nemo. 🤣🤣🤣 I just knew their actual name today..
Are they shrimp safe? Cherry shrimp specifically.
I don't recommend it as they do eat shrimps. :)
In other words it’s good for the gobies haha
hi i'm in italy and i have the same fish, but do they live in brackish or fresh water?
2:16 for explanation. Hope this helps! 😄

Thanks for an informative video. Which part of Malaysia can they be found?
Thank you for watching! This particular species can be found in Johor. 😄👌🏻
I’m getting a goby but I was wondering if they need fresh water and I give them tap water will they still survive if they don’t how do I get Fresh water without spending lots of money
You can use a dechlorinator or anti-chlorine for your tap water. 😄
Do you have any feeding tips so that they do not get out competed for food?
For frozen bloodworms, I will usually place them in different spots in the tank so everybody can eat. I will try to target other fish first, and once they're busy with that, target the spot where the bumblebee gobies are. 😊
@@BeFishy Okay, thanks :)
Are plecos/suckerfish compatible with gobies? They’re two of my favorite fish and I almost always feel a cleaner fish is necessary
I'd say it really depends on the type & character of goby and plecos. I had bumblebee gobies with otocinclus and they do fine. Other bumblebee gobies keepers has had no problem placing the two species together but do monitor them first. All the best! :D
Mine are not eating
Beautiful mini fish. Thanks for info
Thank you for watching!
I just got my first batch in the mail! Im so excited :)
That's awesome!!! Hope you enjoy the little bees. 😊

Try an epsom salt bath to relive muscle tension

@@masrizalmasodi2026 Glad to be of help! Thank you for your support! 😄
Do you think a honey gourami would be a good tankmate?
As long as the bumblebee gobies could get their food and the tank is well planted with hides, I'd say go for it! 😄
Hi, can the goby fry survive in 100% freshwater ?
Yes
Hi, can bumblebee gobies fry survive in 100% freshwater ?
Hi! It depends on the species. The video has an explanation regarding which species require brackish water. 😊
I have 10 of them wild caught, I like the fact that they lowkey look like Saltwater clown fish. Btw i'm from Kuching Sarawak, Malaysia!
My thoughts exactly haha. Hi fellow Malaysian!
Cute video! Needs more love 🥰
Thank you so much 😄
awesome little goby
They're amazing!
If i get a few dozen of them will they school together
They do not school together. Sometimes, they do shoal but males are mostly territorial.
Thanks for the knowledge
Anytime! Thank you for watching. 😊
awesome fish
They sure are!
Great video. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much. 😄👌🏻
Cuty babies 😊👍👍✨
Thank you! 😄
My pleasure 🙏
Aku tersauk bumblebee time sauk kutu air..
Waah! 👏👏
Not had much luck with them
They are quite sensitive. :)
Quick tip bumblebee gobies are toxic and will kill any fish that eats them
😮😮😮
I have not found any evidence on the internet to support that.
