The Black Belly Goby, sometimes referred to as the Red Neon Goby, is a tiny carnivorous fish which move around the tank quite a bit but often stop to perch and watch its surroundings. Since they are carnivores, they should be offered a variety of meaty foods including Mysis shrimp and frozen carnivore diets. These fish will do fine in a group, but they need to be introduced all at the same time.
