Trimma berumeni Peinemann, Pombo-Ayora, Rich, Fox & Coker, 2025
Trimma spp. Pgmy Goby
General information about the Trimma genus: Trimma is a genus of very small fish from the goby family (Gobiidae). The species in this genus live hidden in the coral reefs of the tropical Indo-Pacific. Trimma gobies are generally easy to keep. They are not very susceptible to disease and usually establish themselves quickly in the aquarium.
Trimmas should not be kept with fish that are too large and robust, as otherwise they would hardly be seen.
Trimma species are usually wonderfully suited to small aquariums with delicate inhabitants, although this species tends to come from deeper areas.
However, they usually come to us as bycatch, as gobies are usually very small.
Feeding Trimmma gobies is usually not difficult; they eat everything quite quickly during aquarium maintenance. One should only pay attention to the size and give them appropriately small food.
The goby Trimma berumeni was first described in 2025 by Peinemann, Pombo-Ayora, Rich, Fox & Coker.
The gobiid genus Trimma Jordan & Seale, 1906 is one of the most speciose genera of coral reef-associated fishes in the Indo-Pacific, with over 110 valid described species. Commonly known as pygmygobies due to their small body size (typically
