- Coloration: Gobies exhibit a wide range of colors and patterns, from drab browns and grays to vibrant yellows, oranges, and blues. Many species have bold stripes or spots.
Behavior:

- Tank Mates: Suitable tank mates include small tetras, rasboras, corys, and shrimp.
- Reef Tanks: Some gobies are reef-safe and can be kept in reef aquariums.
Care Requirements:

Water Parameters: Gobies generally prefer slightly brackish to freshwater conditions.
- Substrate: A fine-grained sand or gravel substrate is ideal for gobies to burrow in.
