Six adult, wild caught B. sabanus.

Unlike many bumblebee goby species this species does fine in pure freshwater. I've kept adults and fry in 300ppm tds water and they're growing and happy. I've also kept them in brackish water for many months; they did well in the brackish water but didn't start spawning until I transitioned them to freshwater. Adults are eating frozen food, bbs, and small sinking pellets.

This is not exactly a schooling species, but I haven't seen any aggression among the adults except when a male is sitting on eggs; in that case the other gobies stayed clear of the cave but I never witnessed any injury. Fry are extremely tiny and would probably do best on rotifers; I was able to raise a handful feeding small, sieved moina.
