Hello fellow reefers,
For years i have been in love with the LSD mandarin goby, but never had the tank to keep them.
At this point i have a tank that has been running for 2 years, and it has been pretty stable.
The only "problem" i have for keeping the goby is the tank size.
My tank i 80cmx35cmX25cm.
Everyone always talks aboiut gallons/liters, but for a fish that just creeps between the rocks, isn't "rock surface" more important than the amount of water?
Cause if you rais my tank from 25cm to 40cm i have a lot more water in the tank, but the same amount of rocks..
So my theorie is that a mandarin goby would have enough "space" in my tank to creepy crawler tru my rocks.
I have a little refugion with Chaeto and about 10kg of rock in the tank. ( 2 year old rock )
I would also add live copepods every week.
