Lets see Everyones Gobies!!!

Such and awesome goby, im thinking about getting one of these myself, how has he been for you?

It's been a great citizen of my tank. It is somewhat bashful but when it's out, it's really fun to watch lurk around.

Wow! Do you keep them all in the same tank?

Yes - I keep them together with other small fishes like cardinals, pipefish and small wrasses. DT = 300 litre (80 gallons). There is two more species on its way into this aquarium - yellow upside down gobie and a new I do not know the name of.

Se my build thread

Look at da buddy. Full tank specs? I seriously love these goby. Nervous about trying 2 in a 28g
It's a red sea reefer XL 425 a 112 gallon he does a wonder job at keeping all the sand clean.
You said you want 2 for you 28g? That might be dangerous. Just make sure you feed them good. I use a sinking pellet for them. I made the mistake the first time I ever had one he was sifting sand so I figured he was good but I think I starved the poor little guy :( but now I know better.
 
Mandarin and Tangaroa goby

Absolutely. I haven’t started fully planning out my stock and researching, so it sounds like I shouldn’t get one in there.
 
ALl 3 share this space??

All three of them share that space! They all lived under the rock until one night my smaller goby decided to jump out of my tank and become a potato chip. But yes they both protected the shrimp while the shrimp burrowed under the rocks, anytime the gobies got spooked they would shoot underneath the rock

I have 1 in my small 35 gallon system but it's a little guy I might have to move him when he gets bigger but for now he's good. I would say your safe with 1 for now but rmeebr you might have to rehome him later.
