The Blue Gudgeon is a small, peaceful, and elegant sand-sifting goby, recognized by its slender body, pale coloration, and bright blue stripes running along its head and body. Known for its constant substrate-sifting behavior, it helps maintain a clean sandbed while adding movement and charm to marine aquariums.
Size: Typically grows up to 4 inches in length
Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific region, including Indonesia, the Philippines, and northern Australia
Latin Name: Valenciennea strigata
Care Level: Moderate – thrives in well-established aquariums with stable water parameters, a deep sandbed (at least 2–3 inches), and plenty of open substrate for sifting
Blue Gudgeons are carnivores that feed on small invertebrates and zooplankton. In captivity, they readily accept finely chopped meaty foods, mysis shrimp, and other small marine fare. They are reef safe, coexisting peacefully with corals, fish, and invertebrates. Their graceful sand-sifting behavior and subtle coloration make them both functional and visually appealing additions to reef aquariums.
