There not morphs as they are two differant species.Not a version of the same species-(morph).Bumblebee's are socal gobys as gobys go.But the biggist half of the goby family can be very territorial and aggessive towards other species and to there own and i'm not sure how pink spot gobys behave.

I dont know if you get them in different sizes, but in pets at home they sell some themed tanks and you can have little decorations to go in too.
They do:
Pirates
Spongebob squarepants (comes with statues and stickers of the characters)
Dora the explorer
A mermaid one (might be the little mermaid)

Yeah, they are different species and lots of gobies need salt in their water. Bumblebee gobies are the only gobies you could keep. they only get to 1" so you have to ge careful

you could get:

5 bumblebee gobies
1 male betta
1 apple snail

that would fill the tank up a bit.

Does anybody know of any decent "kiddy" fishtanks?

I'd like it to have a light, filter, pump etc..

The Vivo Aquarium looks quite "nice", obviously it needs to be aesthetically pleasing to go in her room.

The only other girly one I've found is the mermaid one but Im not that keen tbh..

Just want some recommendations really...

where can u get vivo aquarium i really like it ..

Given that my youngest is not much older than your little one, be sure to supervise her contact with the fish tank at all times. Otherwise, you'll find stray bits of lego plus the occasional bit of pizza being chucked in just 'coz "the fish looked hungry"...
