Yellowline Goby -
The Yellowline Goby is very similar to the Neon Goby, except that it has yellow lines rather than the blue lines of the Neon Goby.
Yellowlines are cleaner gobies, which are always beneficial in aquariums. They also will eat small bits of frozen and dry aquarium foods and are generally welcomed by larger fish because they are recognized as cleaners.
Approximate Purchase Size: 1"
Neon Goby -
Neon Gobies are found in Florida and the Caribbean Sea, and are one of the most recognizable and popular saltwater aquarium fish. It is well documented that this fish is a cleaner species that picks parasites and other debris from the mouth, gills and skin of larger fish. ORA frequently provides Neon Gobies in large quantities to public aquariums for disease control in their displays. They are small fish, reaching about 2 inches in length.
Neon gobies are easy to keep in aquariums, and are especially well suited to reef tanks. They will eat small bits of frozen and dry aquarium foods although in nature they are almost exclusively parasite pickers. Normally, they are not bothered by larger fish because they are recognized as cleaners. They can fall victim to mantis shrimp, pistol shrimp and other ambush feeders sometimes present in the live rock of reef tanks.
Spawning of this species is well documented, and pairing and spawning are often observed in aquaria. This species can lay 500-800 eggs every 10 days, hatching in about 8-9 days. They spend about 25-28 days as larva until metamorphosis.

Sharknose Goby-
Elacatinus evelynae is a cleaner goby species that originates from the Western Atlantic Ocean. In the wild they will set up cleaning stations to rid larger fish of parasites that in turn serve as food to them.
These hard-working gobies have a beautiful yellow line in the head which blends into a neon blue line in the body. They will usually attain a size of 1.5” and are a great addition to the peaceful reef tank. Sharknose Gobies will accept a wide variety of prepared frozen foods as well as dry aquarium foods.
