goby

Soo I want some LTAs for my planned 125 gallon, will they attack gobies?

I have had a watchman goby and a six line wrasse living together in a 32 gallon aquarium for two months. I just saw the wrasse attacking the goby. The wrasse isn’t bugging my other fish. Do I need to rehome the wrasse, or is there something else I could try? Water parameters are stable, only...

Sorry for the long post but some opinions would be helpful in figuring this out. The past 2 weeks my fish have unexpectedly died. I have 2 ideas why but information online is conflicting. My aquarium; 90 gallons, 20 Gallon sump, its about 4 months old. I had a 75 gallon and upgraded to this...

Switched over tanks and unfortunately don't have room for my Randall's Goby and Tiger Pistol Shrimp. Perfectly healthy, haven't had any issue with these guys other than covering corals in my sandbed occasionally. :p They're both full grown, the pistol shrimp is a pretty good size, 2.5-3" I'd...

Questions at the bottom, here are some tank stats: (If anything is wrong here don't crucify us, we are new and have done the best research we can) So we've had our tank since mid-February: 32.5 Gallon tank Canister filter good for up to 75 gallons 20ish pounds of liverock Fish- in order they...

Hello there, I have a 40g reef tank with seahorses, a wheeler goby and YWG (captive bred). The 2 gobies actually live in the same burrow and are inseparable. Really interested in adding a Yellowhead Jawfish. Will there be any aggression? Thank you!

Okay guys, the last addition to my current tank before I upgrade to my new one later this summer is going to be a Hi-fin Red Banded Goby and Pistol Shrimp. Here's my question/concern, I have aragonite for a sand bed which is fairly course. I've been told that the Red Banded Goby is not a sand...

I am considering getting a Randall's pistol shrimp, with already paired gobies. Question is...will the already paired gobies pair with the pistol? Or do pistols only pair with one goby? Want to ensure nothing happens to either goby (or the pistol!) Thanks!

Hello all, this is my first post on this forum over the past 8 weeks I have been setting up my reef tank with my LFS and everything was going pretty well until yesterday. Cycled water for 4-5 weeks then added a black and white clownfish followed by a yellow clown goby a week or so later. Fast...

Okay guys, this is my first post so bear with me... I noticed something interesting in the tank tonight. I saw my yellow watchman goby hanging around the main burrow of my red banded pistol shrimp. This was moderately exciting because they haven't paired yet. (The goby has been hanging out on...

Black bared convict goby fully adjusted to the 10 gal!

Hello, I have a 12 gallon marine tank that houses my baby clown pair for now, I’m moving to a 25 gallon mixed reef with sump. I want to keep the bioload light, so I can get away with smaller water changes. The 25 gallon will house my Clown pair, and my cleaner shrimp. (Along with my CUC) So I...

I just ordered ATI Fiji white sand with a grain size of 2-3mm, I didn't want to go lower because I don't like having sand flying everywhere as soon as I turn up the flow. However I'm starting to wonder if this isn't too big for sand sifting gobies since I'd like to get one later. What do you...

I introduced a male to my female a couple of days ago to see if they would pair up. I got a male that was bigger than the female cause I heard that females may kill males that are smaller than her. Well today I found my male dead. His mouth of wide open and he has pale spots spots like he lost...

I'm 99% sure the fish is dead. But just in case it's somehow stunned I'm posting this here. Yesterday I got a 5-inch Bella goby from a local fish store. I decided not to quarantine and just did a short acclimation to the tank. Yesterday it swam around the tank and selected a cavern to set up...

Hi everyone, My LFS had a cute little goby I couldn't help but pick up, but upon closer inspection at home, he seems to have numerous black spots on his spine near his dorsal fin. I haven't found anything from the usual searches, and he's doing just fine otherwise. Could this just be...

I’m giving my diamond goby back to my lfs today as he has been covering all my corals and he has even gone so far as to pull snails off the glass and pull coral plugs off the rocks. Any recommendations for some cool fish? I currently have a yellow tang, pair of clowns, mandarin, filefish and...

I’m working on a list for what fish and clean up crew I want for my 40 gallon 3ft long tank. I want to have a diamond back goby in it to sift the sand and clean it up. If I put in some Nassarius snails in will they be competing with my goby for food or will the goby be alright.

I got Marty, a Pink Spotted Watchman Goby, about a week ago. I was watching him while feeding earlier and noticed he has a rough patch of blackened scales and it appears there is some kind of parisite moving under his skin (see attached video). What is wrong with Marty and how can i treat him?

My Black-ray goby (Stonogobiops nematodes)

Bunch of zoa's(purple monster, sunkist, candy apple some more i forgot the names), green star polyp, 2 hammer corals, green and red kenya tree and a couple others shown in picture (not sure the name). Fishes are 2 clownfish (1 orange + 1 black) , 2 chromis, captive bred Mandarin goby, green war...

My Green Clown “Warpaint” Goby from a few years ago, they’re cool fish, RIP

I have a 32G Biocube with 2 zebra Dartfish, a sharknose goby, and a yellow assessor. I purchased the sharknose because he was said to not be aggressive and I thought his cleaner tendencies would not be a negative aspect. Well, he is a bully! He attacks all the fish and us every time we put our...

Hi guys, I used to have a 29g tank and I decided to upgrade to something a little bigger, so I got a 55g. Now that I have a little more space, I would like to add some extra fishies ☺️. At the moment I have the following: A saddleback clownfish, an ocellaris, a yellow watchman goby paired with a...
