...in the tank as well? I'm hoping I can throw in a percula Clownfish, but I'm thinking it's not such a good idea, and would there be a list of gobies otherwise that can fit in a 5 gallon? What kind of filtration would you use as well? Would this be expensive due to constant WCs on the small...

...unless you have a well established tank their won't be much in the sand for him just yet. Quite a few people have adjusted even sand sifting gobies to bare bottom tho so assuming you make sure he's eating during feeding he should be fine. However if your substrate large than 3.5 mm it can be...

2 clown fish occelaris that aren’t wild, not that you’ll find them but they can get to the size of a softball. Yellow blue damsels, fire fish, basslets, & gobies. I would recommend gobies that don’t sand sift, those things will make sandstorms in nanos.

A barnacle Blenny or a couple Clown Gobies would work. Once you have some experience A Pistol Shrimp with a Shrimp Goby of some type can be very entertaining.

...anything that suggests it wasn't compatible, but hoping someone can provide some insight: Two clowns, yellow tang, midas blenny, 3 engineer gobies, a pink spotted watchman goby, 2 fire fish, a randali shrimp, small female emerald crab, and a cleaner shrimp. Any possible insight would be...

...I am new to saltwater, and This forum. i am (hopefully) setting up a saltwater 10 soon, And am wondering what fish would work? I really like gobies, firefish are cool, my fav is diamond but I can’t have that in a small tank. Anyways, I have come up with the following: firefish x1, green...

...the middle. Perfectly bare bottom on one half and 12 inches of crushed Cora on the other. The restaurant owner said kids liked watching the gobies toil away day in day out lol. The big bleached corals on the bare side would fall over and be laying on their side every time I came to service...

You still would be best to avoid sand sifters like diamond gobies. They don’t eat detritus in the sand but the critters living in it. They will deplete the sand bed of those organisms quickly then slowly die because the can’t get enough food, even if they eat prepared foods, they need a...

Thanks.... I probably did not state that my substrate is very deep sand.. I just saved a lot of small pieces of dead coral for the goby's burrow. would that work? My concern: How's the goby chose his spot to burrow in? How can I direct him to the best spot?

Diamond gobies do poorly in captivity and absolutely won’t work in a tank with crushed coral. They are sand sifters. sifting sand through their gills is how they get their food. They will very quickly deplete the food in a tank. crushed Coral is not a good substrate for the majority of...

...Goby Valencienna bella The Bella Goby is a Sleeper Goby with a stunning rose and orange colored body, with blue lines on the face. Sleeper Gobies are notorious for sifting sand and are great at aerating the sand and removing detritus and other problematic debris. These fish are a great...

I’ve never had an issue with gobies jumping. Shrimp gobies pretty much stay at the bottom near their cave. Clown gobies stay in the rocks. You don't want to cover your tank with a solid cover because it decreases gas exchange resulting in a lot of issues even fish death. You can purchase...

Forgot about gobies they are great fun to watch.

...You need a 5-6 foot tank for these fish. The key to more fish is to research their habbits. Mix it up with fish that hang at the bottom like gobies and fish that hang in the rock work like clowns, dwarf angels, Dottie backs, royal gramma, and fish that hang in open water like fire fish and...

...lights an anemone is not going to work for you. They are one of the highest light demanding species in the ocean. As for other fish shrimp gobies are fascinating to have. A clown fish or 2 (a pair only if you buy them small and at the same time). i would strongly suggest purchasing a small...

...on all my fish.. but hhpo doesnt work on all fish it kills butterflies. Flame angels. Fairy wrasses. Alot of dottybacks. Royal grammas. Some gobies they all die from hypo. So you have to do other methods like tank transfer and i hate copper. But yea. Im ttying to get some good pics.. its...

...is what killed them or was it lack of oxygen or something? This may be a dumb question but I have never had a main pump stop pumping water over night. Any help would be appreciated. Had 2 mature clowns, one puffer, 2 blue tangs, 2 gobies. Crabs and corals are all coming back ok now that temp...

...OF TIME in 4 groups- Group 1-marbled cat shark (atelomycterus Macleayi), 4 clown fish. Gr#2-Hippo Blue tang, flame hawk, flame angel, 10 neon gobies Gr#3 medium size powder blue, Gold flake angel, scribbled angel,Gr#4 emperor angel,3 yellow tangs, purple tang. after an appropriate cycle time...

Ok. Thanks for the feedback. I’m aiming for the largest color range and compatibility as possible for my tank. Hopefully at least two larger fish and maybe one school, possibly some green chromis. What about that? Also, I don’t have space for a QT. Any suggestions on that?

...tolerate each other. Flame angel yes but no other dwarf angels. Emperor angel no (you need at least a 220 for the emperor or the blue tang) Gobies and sand sifters are great but do better in a more established tank, especially the sand sifters. A yellow shrimp goby would probably do fine you...
