Show us your Gobies!

[rmorris_14]

I’ve just realised these guys seem to enjoy living under your weeping willow? leather’s frag plug haha. Wish I could have a fish that used Frag plugs/rubble to make a house with. I guess I have a Tilefish that uses it but nowhere near as well as this looks.

Hahaha yeah. I have taken it back a few times and the pistol keeps dragging it back and using it has his grand entry. They like to live that fancy life.

Beautiful! Gobies are one of the most common families to appear in an LFS but their personalities always make up for it!

Nothing so exquisite for me. I wanted a sand sifter

Even if they’re not rare they’re still beautiful! Sometimes you have to enjoy the common guys to enjoy the genus/family!

You Blck Ray owners are really tempting me into getting one of them when my yasha passes (He’s about 2 years in March so I think if I’m lucky he’ll live another year but I don’t think I’ll be that lucky).

Here are some of mine! Love the gobies!

Beautiful! Love the Signigobius biocellatus, he looks nice and fat too

I’d love a pair of shrimp gobies, how do yours interact? Also love how you can see the clear differences between male and female yellow watchmans in this picture!

Haha, how long have you had him? Beautiful photo too!

Beautiful! Maybe in a few years I’ll go with Rainfordi again, possibly even try both the commonly kept Koumansettas and pair them.

I’ve been wanting to breed my clown goby, just wondered how hard it is? Also how big did the babies get if you managed to raise them?

 

[Paul B]

I did not raise them and I took that picture through a microscope as they are tiny. They spawn constantly and are almost never without eggs. Mine always spawned on acropora and killed all of those corals in my tank with their eggs. Their eggs take up just over an inch on the coral and hatch in a few days, maybe five.

I designed a device to collect the babies as soon as they are born. I think it's in my book but it is just a tube you place over the eggs and it has a small airline connected to it which sucks up the babies as soon as they are born.

They are deposited into a floating container.

let’s see it! Anything from the family we know of as Gobiidae. I love these fish (So much that I plan for a total of around 5 if I can get a second Black Clown Goby to try a pair).
Dartfish, Firefish, Gobies, let’s see them all!!

Here’s mine;
Gobiodon acicularis - Black Clown Goby

Koumansetta hectori - Hectors Goby

Stonogobiops yasha - Yasha Goby

I’m getting prepared for a 4th goby, some of you may know what it is but I’m not going to say what species it is until I get hold of it! For now I’ll say it’s a very small species.

If you have any beginner friendly but unusual species then let us know! I can think of a few but want to see people who own them and see what they think.

I currently have 5 - I have a neon goby, citron goby, mandarin goby, pinkbar goby with pistol shrimp, purple firefish, a pair of threadfin cardinals and a pair of barnacle blennies in my 20gal.

Wow that’s a beautiful tank! 9 fish is my dream number for my max nano, people really overestimate how heavy the nano fish have in terms of a bio load.

Thanks! I feel like any more fish and space would be an issue, but this feels like the perfect mix of species for temperament and just the right amount.

Gobies are by far my favorite type of fish, especially citrons. They don’t have much bioload, now the cardinals.. they probably produce the same amount as the 5 combined haha
