It may take the Scissortail Dartfish some time to get acclimated, so agressive tankmates away until it has plenty of time to secure all of its hiding spot. |

The Scissortail Dartfish (Ptereleotris evides) is sometimes called a Scissortail Goby. It belongs to the family named Microdesmidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.6 inches in length, the Scissortail Dartfish is passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Ptereleotris evides should not be housed in a tank less than 20 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places and a fine substrate.

I have 2 of these guys in my 55g. They have great personality, are very curious, and prefer to be kept in 2s or 3s per tank.
