Scissortail Goby

Ptereleotris Dartfish should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of room to swim. Plenty of rock work with caves, cracks, crevices and a deep sand bed should be provided for hiding and sleeping. A diet rich in meaty based foods should be provided. Dartfishs color may fade if their diet is not adequate. To entice eating try feeding enriched live Brine, Glass/Grass shrimp, or black worms. Dartfish are shy peaceful fish and should be housed with similar peaceful fish. Dartfish may jump provide an aquarium with a tight fitting lid.
