neon goby

Hi there I have a 20 gallon tank with a centerpiece rock work that goes vertical in the tank. I have 1 small sweet clown and a YWG and pistol shrimp pair, they have claimed underneath the rockwork and I believe take up the entirety of area in the sand. So can I still add a Neon bar goby I think...

Hello everyone, newbie on reef tanks here, I had fresh water african chiclid tanks, now I'm starting on reef tanks, I got this neon goby like 2 weeks and a half ago, in transportation he already was like this, but after all this time in my tank, he is still like this. Parameters are all good...

This little guy has had some lighter patches of funk on his skin for a few days which you can still see, but today I am noticing this much more pronounced white spot. I'm guessing this is Ich based on what I have seen online but I am fairly new so I'm not sure. Any diagnostic input from more...

Hi, I got a neon blue cleaner goby about 2 weeks ago, and noticed some white dots on it, and am pretty certain it is ich. I tried a freshwater dip, and have been monitoring it but it seems to slowly progress. It is in a 5 gallon (cycled) quarantine tank, with an orchid dottyback, which has no...

Hello all! I currently have a citron goby (Gobiodon citrinus), two captive-bred neon gobies (Elactinus oceanops), and a molly miller blenny (Scartella cristata) in my 10-gallon quarantine system (which has not begun medication), which have been with me since 9/5/2022. I have been experiencing...

A pair of neon gobies (Elacatinus oceanops) was always on my wishlist for fish, though I am beginning to question whether I should purchase them given their relatively short lifespan. Is it true that they only live between 1-2 years old, or would they live longer in a captive setting? If it's...

Me neither - check out this odd behavior - last 2 days the neon goby has taken a liking to the pinkbar goby and pistol shrimp’s hole, and is picking up sand and is seemingly helping the pistol with his hole. The downside is it is keeping the pinkbar from coming out too often. Super strange. I...

Hey guys, So I’ve been checking out various fish I can add to my 55 gallon reef to round things off. One of the fish I’ve been looking at is the flame hawkfish and I saw that Matthew recommended this fish in a stock list similar to mine for a 40 gallon reef on the BRS channel. I would really...

I got a neon cleaner goby yesterday and he’s been out and about today. He is way smaller than I thought - and I’ve seen my flagtail pink bar goby a few times now go after him like he’s food. Think the neon will be okay and is quick enough to evade or is it just a matter of time? Bummed because...

here’s our goby ‘the gobe’ squad. somehow we’ve been lucky and they all share a 32 gal tank with ‘little’ or no issues.. just a lot of attempts at stealing each others burrows. lol if the video doesn’t load properly please just comment and i’ll edit or attempt to upload again.

Hi, I have a Fluval evo 13.5 and was wondering whether a Yasha goby, tailspot blenny and neon goby would all get along together, thanks. This is my tank.. it has lots of live rock

Looking to purchase a mated pair of sharknose or neon gobies to replace my recently lost neon goby if anyone has a pair they are looking to rehome or knows where I can find one. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have two neon gobies in my 75 gallon DT. It’s hard to tell if they have ick or lymphocystis. All my other fish are doing well and show no signs of ick. There hasn’t been a day where there are no white spots on the neon gobies, which is why I’m hesitant to diagnose it as ick...

I've been quarantining two neon gobies and a springer's damselfish (all about 1/2"). Five days ago I found the larger neon goby dead on the bottom. On the previous evening the goby didn't eat and was hopping behind the filter. I thought it was strange because it always came out to eat, but I...
