from my experience, most gobies are easy to feed. Mandarines, some people consider them a goby but they aren't they are very hard to feed as they are picky eaters. Watchman gobies are pretty cool. I am sure there are others that I can't think of off the top of my head. They are cute little fish and I know you will enjoy any one you decide to purchase.

I agree with Playtime. They ARE easy to feed, however they do not eat much when there is competition that is bigger than they are (most fish) and/or more assertive at feeding time (most fish!) Also many species of Goby have unique "niches" in the wild that should be replicated as closely as possible. While this is often not difficult, it may not "fit" with the scheme of the tank. Many species share a symbiotic relationship with the Pistol Shrimp(s) that can be cool when duplicated in the tank.
Decide what part of the ocean your tank represents, and go from there. As the Gobies represent the largest Family of fishes with regards to # of species, there's probably a Goby or 2 (or 3 or...) that will be happy there.
KNOW YOUR GOBIES!!! Baensch Marine Atlas (V1) has a comprehensive section on the Gobiidae.
Playtimes right, Mandarinfish are dragonets, as is the Scooter "Blenny." Maybe we can offer some suggestions as to species if you let us know more about your tank/goals.

I have a clown gobie in my 10 gallon now. He shares space with a single perc. # days and he's eating fine and stays next to the perc, like they're best buddies. Am looking forward to watching this fish for a long time to come.
