Which fish would you choose?

[Manpeckz]

15 Gallon Mixed Reef (Aqueon 20 Long)

Plenty of inverts
1 Court Jester Goby

Tiger Goby?

Tiger Goby | Elacatinus macrodon | ORA | Oceans, Reefs & Aquariums

The ORA Tiger Goby is a cool little fish that is essentially translucent with dark stripes.

or Transparent Cave Goby?

Transparent Cave Goby

Like a living x-ray, the ORA Transparent Cave Goby shows off orange spots….and everything else its got going on inside.

ps. not a Tiger Watchman

They seem like a niche group of fish so I'm curious to see if someone has experience with them.

More importantly, which would YOU choose?

Elacatinus gobies are generally more outgoing and watchable than any Fusi gobies, so the tiger has my vote. Granted, both will likely be upside down in caves outside of feedings, but the tiger would also look better when you do see it imo.

Unless you are aset on another goby, there are many other fish to consider:
Cardinal
Firefish goby
strawberry bassley
yasha goby
anthias

Thanks! I will do some research on these suggestions!

 

[Mechano]

I’d go with a fire fish. Will add some movement in your tank and look great.

 

[Katrina71]

Tailspot blenny!

 

[wtdenk]

Pink streaked wrasse

Pink streaked wrasse

Okay these would both look great! Just not sure if it’s the perfect match, there’s no lid currently so I would probably need to add one for such active swimmers.

If he sits he fits?! I have not looked into this yet but I always see @kevgib67 advocating for them!

Pink streak would be great. They aren’t really active swimmers like most wrasse, and just kinda scoot/creep around the tank in and out of cover.

Just make sure you only have peaceful friends, because pink streaks cannot tolerate aggression and have no ability to defend themselves.

No lid means no gobies or Blennys as they are both jumpers along with a lot of wrasses as well

Actually it was @Katrina71 who talked me into it when I thought I was done adding fish for over a year . I’m glad she did!

 

[Nemo&Friends]

I would choose tiger goby out of the 2. But firefish would add more color.

Im very curious. What anthias species can be put in a 15g tank?

If you can find one and the price isn't crazy, definitely go for a Greissenger Goby! They can literally live happily only eating copepods (and don't require nearly as many as mandarins). I've kept them personally and can tell you that although they do hide a lot of the time, they're a true joy to watch flick their fins around when out of hiding on the sanded! I've maintained them in tanks smaller than yours actually. As long as you just dose a little phyto nightly to maintain your pod population they'll do just fine!

Between this and that yasha goby.. those are some wow fish!

Amazing they aren’t talked about more!

Like I said, if you can find one in the US around you for a reasonable price, BUY IT!
