Bumble Bee Gobies!
Your eyes don’t deceive you, the bees are back! It’s noted that this fish can get a little over an inch long, but some are only half that! However, with this tiny brackish species size comes a short lifespan of around roughly 3 years. These bees also need a protein-rich diet, so incorporating frozen foods such as tubifex and blood worms is vital.
