Awesome fish! If you did mean Marbled I do have pics of mine somewhere, but they are post Digital...so I would have to scan them into the computer.

I think they only get 3 inches, I am not sure about ideal tank size, I imagine nothing too big, they will breed at 1.5 inches. They look soo cool! But small.

This Sleeper is a monster!

Here's a pic of one of my sleepers I shot this week. The snook behind it is a foot long.
That is a beast! I had that same species for years, I had no idea they got that huge. :eek:
Cool thing about those is they are pretty active for a sleeper goby. Its kinda like having a giant knight goby. Great looking Sleeper Oddball. (I saved that pic of course)

Understandibly so. :) its music to my ears to hear you say that! especially since you keep and have kept lots of different fish too!!

If you ever put him in a tank with sand, they leave their eyes exposed like thalassophryne amazonica.

Are you using a feeding stick with silversides/shrimp to feed him?
