Clown goby thread!

What's the care for these guys? Would they be okay in a 10g?

10 gallon should work, they are surprisingly mobile though. They'd appreciate good bit of rock and cave and coral with polyps--but not necessarily necessary. They are not sps safe as they nip them, but they're very easy if you can get them to eat. They are sometimes not very easy to get eating right away.

Thanks. What about feeding? Frozen necessary or no? I usually only feed frozen every few days, pellets in between.

I have had mixed experience, the ones that wouldn't eat wouldn't eat and the ones that would eat would eat absolutely anything and bigger pieces than you'd expect. In the wild the subsist almost exclusively on the mucous of corals.

I just got a citron goby for my son’s 10g tank. He is a voracious eater. If they are in a tank with larger, aggressive eaters, that can cause feeding problems. Otherwise, they usually just need a couple of days to settle in. I usually feed frozen but they eat pellets as well.

Here’s a bad picture of our new guy. My son named him Gulper. He was shy for a couple of days but now is pretty bold. So far gets along well with our skunk clown - he’s actually slightly bigger than the clown!
