Lythrypnus dalli (Gilbert 1860), The Blue-Banded or Catalina Goby: This brilliant red and blue beauty is from off the two California`s Pacific coasts. It is not tropical, and will only live a short while in water in the upper seventies, eighties. It should not be sold as a warm-water organism. Why do I, should I mention this? It is an embarrassing sham in the trade, and a waste of resources. Endemic to Catalina Island, this brightly coloured fish is suitable for cooler aquariums (22-23 C). Intolerant to its own kind, Catalina Gobies do best in invertebrate set ups with lots of rockwork for nest building. Note: Due to variations among each species, livestock may not look identical to the image provided. Expect diversity since each animal is unique in color, texture and shape.
