Care guide at a glance
Discordipinna griessingeri
Description
A tiny, spectacular goby in orange and white with an enormous fan-like dorsal fin. One of the smallest marine fish in the trade and priced for its rarity.
Feeding
Feeds on very small live prey. Needs live copepods, live baby brine shrimp and enriched frozen cyclops, several times daily. Will not take pellets.
Compatibility
Entirely peaceful and far too small for a general community. Must be kept in a nano species tank or with nothing that could eat or outcompete it.
Behaviour and personality
Perches on rock and rubble, raising the oversized dorsal fin in display. Cryptic and easily lost from view.
Before you buy
At 2-3 cm this fish cannot compete with anything. It needs a dedicated nano tank with an established copepod population and frequent small feeds. Not suitable for a standard reef.
