Sweet pickup, i was thinking of getting some originally for my planted tank, but they would have eaten all my shrimp...

i should check my lfs if they have goby for sale :x would like to use my spare 60g for something rather then collecting dust.

they are pretty awesome little fish..dont get very big this male is about max around 2 inches.

Cool looking fish!

Im going to set up a nice planted 10g for them..probably get a good group of malawa shrimp breeding in it before adding them,

..wonder why they are so hard to find around here..
 
Im guessing they must be a very seasonal fish, coz its the same over here in Hong Kong, only really see them mid summer months...
