hey everyone....last week I lost two 2 spot gobies male female....I believe my starry blenny killed them both because for the first 2 days he hassled them big time all day long and even seen him take some fins off of the gobies...my gobies were getting along great hoping up and down with each...
I would suggest just two or three very small fish. I don't mean baby fish, I mean docile fish that stay small. Clown Gobies, Neon Gobies, Barnacle Blenny, etc.
Something doable that could be fun would be a Pistol Shrimp and some type of Shrimp Goby.

My diamond goby is eating new era marine flakes, bloodworms, brine shrimp, and market shrimp. I must have lucked out. He is my favorite fish. I feed him 3 times a day small feedings.
Yes I have a 3'' one, and he is doing rather well.
Diamond Gobies are sand sifters. Do not get one unless you have an adequate, well-established sand bed. A refugium is also highly recommended for DG's.
Thank you guys! I'm excited to finally have a large tank..
My friend was trying to tell me to get a snowflake eel but I am not really interested in them..... however, could I potentail do a few gobies? Like maybe my diamond, a pink spotted goby, and a yellow watchman?
...to the yellow tang, dream fish of mine.
If I get a maroon, it will either be a lighting maroon or the gold stirpe 4-5'' one that has been in the LFS display since christmas 2013. No one is buying him feel bad for him. It's just him, a HUGE blue hippo tang, and some watchman gobies with corals.
Diamond gobies do better in a larger more mature tank. They need the life in a mature sand bed to eat. They tend to slowly starve to death in newer tanks. I have one in a 125 and he covers the whole tank. I love yellow watchman gobies. They have so much personality.
I have a CBS and it hasn't bothered any of its aquarium mates. I have a clown fish 3 chromis a zebra snail and two crabs and they all coexist just fine. The cbs is located in one of two places in my 50 gal tank mainly behind one coral rock. Everyone else moves freely. Size wise he about the...
...ask you which goby you would reccomend for a 29 gallon?
Here is the list I am thinking:
Pink Spotted Watchman goby
Candy Cane Goby
Yellow Watchman goby( usually come in very tiny in my area like the size of a elbow pasta or little bigger)
I'm looking for gobies that grow up to 4-5''
any ideas?
...to look at the niche the fish occupy. A wrasse or tang won't compete with a blenny or goby because they are swimmers and the blennies and gobies live in the rocks. But both tangs and blennies eat algae off the rocks and will compete for food. Best advise is research the animals so You get...
The blue spot gobies get bigger in the end, both are nice fish. I have what I have thought is a yellow watchman but it could be a blue spot because it is in the big side. He wasn't labeled when I bought him. Tons of personality.
I'm not sure how aggressive two firefish will be toward each...
So how would this be for my 40 gallon breeder?
a pair of clownfish, a pair of firefish gobies, either a yellow watchman goby or a blue spotted watchman (slightly bigger, the yellows at the store are often less than an inch while the blues are almost usually 2-3''), and bandgi cardinals or should...
You could easily add a couple of clown gobies. Great additions, get along with everyone, will eat anything, very cute, and stay small. They'll perch on rocks, or stick to the glass, depending on their mood... lol! I really like the yellow pair that I have in my 40B... ;)
Won't eat mysis? Wow... those are some stubborn fish. What kind of flake food are you feeding them? I've had a few brands that some of my fish wouldn't touch. I tried different varieties, and settled on my current brand... Cobalt Mysis Spirulina. I don't have a single critter that doesn't go...
Looks like my gobies will have to starve. They swim up to the shrimp and then turn their little fins up at it and move on looking for something they prefer.
...bright yellow body. Potential owners beware: Many aquarium stores will sell both Brachygobius xanthozona and Brachygobius nunus as Bumblebee Gobies. The problem lies in the fact that B. nunas is a different species altogether and requires brackish water to survive. B. nunas technically is the...
