Why We Like It:

With a vivid orange dorsal stripe running the length of its slender blue body, the Orange Stripe Gudgeon brings colour and elegant movement to the upper water column. Peaceful and reef safe, it does best in groups in larger tanks where natural shoaling behaviour can be observed. A secure lid is essential, as dartfish are powerful jumpers. A great option for adding open-water activity to calm reef systems.
