Couple of my spotted garden eels chilling out. They are in with my Lined Seahorses and make great tank mates especially if you get them on frozen mysis.

The goby is an absolute unit almost 5 inches long, it'll be fine. And if it turns out the melatremus are way bigger than expected I will remove the goby and shrimp to a temp tank and sell them.

My golden dwarf made a lunch of my lawnmower blenny and six like wrasse but would never touch my longnose hawkfish

Do you keep this one with any tank mates? Would like to get one but i want clowns and such as well.

Maui is no more, sadly, but I've never had an issue with a golden dwarf and tank mates. As long as it isnt a small goby you'll be fine. They rarely get bigger than a sharpie marker and around 6-8" long. They do, however, like to climb out of tanks so a secure lid is a must.

I am sorry to hear that. So clownfish would be out of the question with one xD

Im not sure the size of your clownfish... mine would be hard for a snowflake to eat. My female ocellaris is 4" long and the male is 2.5-3". I don't see a golden dwarf being able to eat a clownfish....

Unfortunately my tank is still in the works. I would definitely make the eel drop in last

Been slowly training my Japanese Dragon Eel to be handled/pet. So far so good. Not recommended to try, but as other videos of Eels i seen they can be very friendly and handled with care over time. Enjoy!!!

I used to pet mine on his head till about 4 years ago he jumped out of the tank at me and hit the floor when I was cleaning the tank. Never again will I try and pet.

Went into observation on Tuesday. Took some krill off of a stick yesterday so I feel confident. I had some live small mollies and ghosties living with him, I saw him trying to catch a ghostie yesterday. He was very timid about taking him down; he's about 2' and very thin so he still might be a baby. I figured I'd try and stick feed him, I had to make the pieces really small but he took a fair amount. I'll try again tomorrow.

Did something change? How long did you have him with the fish?

I have noticed my starry blenny and watchman goby both bullying the morays during feeding time. They are quite timid and I have to feed them last. Maybe when they get bigger those roles will get reversed, but for now my watchman goby is king of the rockwork at a whopping 6 inches long.

I have them on a diet of chopped squid and whole cockles right now. Will try to switch it up and feed them other shellfish, so far they prefer cockles the most.

How long will my Golden Dwarf and Diamond Goby be best friends?

probably until the second the golden dwarf is hungry and the diamond goby is smaller than it?

going on 3 years, the eel is bigger now.
