The Indonesian Dragon Micro Goby is a very rare species that is new to the hobby and perfect for the nano aquarium!

The Indonesian Dragon Micro Goby (Schismatogobius risdawatiae) is a tropical freshwater species that is native to Indonesia. It is very uncommon and was only described a few years ago. Like other members of its genus, it has very impressive color-changing availability. In this particular species, males have red coloration around the abdomen.

The Indonesian Dragon Micro Goby is will thrive in a planted or heavily decorated aquarium with moderate to high water flow, and it requires soft sand or smooth gravel substrate in which it can bury itself on occasion. This fish should initially be fed the smallest of meaty frozen and live foods, but can often be weaned onto high quality dry foods as well. While it is not a schooling fish per se, it can easily be kept in groups whose interaction is very entertaining to watch.

It is important to note that this goby is a truly scaleless fish, so please be cautious when using medications in its aquarium. Some medications require a lower dosage when used with scaleless fish.

Shipping Schedule for this service

UPS 1 Day: Monday through Thursday

Current Handling Time:

1-9 business days

Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.

Shipping Rate

Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
