Ok, Related Post From Earlier Regarding Getting a Greissenger Goby Tomorrow

They have 9 total!

... You should get all 9 and set up a few little tanks that are all connected for them

 

[i cant think]

Can they live in groups or pairs? If so you should 100% get multiple!

In the wild Discordipinna griessingeri is found alone or in pairs, they have been known to pair up in captivity but identifying males from females is unknown - Theories have emerged like the amount of spots however I believe that is false and each specimen has a different amount of spots. It is however known they are like other gobies and they are Hermaphrodites.

The guy apparently had been preselling them for the past few days so he only had one not reserved. I got to pick from among several though and picked the biggest, most active one! I also picked up a couple beautiful giant orange sun coral heads fixed to a rock, sand and light for the tank of course, as well as some extra live rock to make the scape more interesting... really wish I could've gotten 2 or 3 though...

I know I’ve shown you this photo @livinlifeinBKK however I’m sure @1epauletteshark will love it
This was my old Griessingeri when I first got it, and it is one of the first photos I got of him. That Aquilonastra star next to him is about 1-1.5mm from leg to leg.

Cant wait!
I have no idea what happened to my guy but I’m almost certain he passed and the CUC got to him. He lived to be 1 year and 4 months in captivity, their lifespan is generally 1.5 years IME, these guys only have one reason to live; breeding so they mature fast and die fast.

Thats a shame but there might be another opportunity in the future

That's sad...I'm sorry for your loss

Thank you. I am just still not sure why exactly. From my experience I don't agree with the beginner tag put on possum wrasse, they are very mysterious, easily picked on, hard to diagnose if anything is wrong, very sensitive, hard to feed and much more.

Any chance you have it yet?

Set up my first 2.5 gallon pico tank today!

So i got the Greissenger Goby (although i first intended to get multiple ones, all except one had been preordered) so i decided to set up a dedicated pico for him and some NPS corals. It turned out to be possible the most tranquil little tank I've ever made! Here are some pics!
