Green Banded Goby
Tigrigobius multifasciatus
Also known as: Greenband Goby • Greenband goby • Greenbanded Goby
Kingdom: Metazoa• Family: Gobiidae• Order: Gobiiformes
📌 In the aquarium
The green banded goby is popular with aquarists and is generally considered to be reef safe. It is especially suited to nano reef tanks because of its small size.
Because of territorial issues with their own kind in the small confines of a tank, they are best kept singly or as a breeding pair.
📌 Conservation status
Tigrigobius multifasciatus is not found on the IUCN Red List. The species is highly resilient, with localized populations able to double within fifteen months.
📌 Reproduction
Gobiodon sp. start life as females, and are bi-directional protogynous hermaphrodites, meaning that when paired up, if necessary, one changes sex to form a breeding pair. In the case of two females forming a pair, the larger of the two becomes male, and in the case of two males, the smaller changes sex to become female.
