12inches jade goby

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i used to have one of these guys who as 14" long. He was the laziest fish ever. he always stayed in one spot, and only ate if the food got close enough to his mouth for minimal movement. I'd sometimes see snails crawling on him. tankmates included an oscar, a jack dempsey, a redtail catfish, and a bichir.

I eventually had to get rid of him (along with all my other fish) when my landlord had me get rid of my monster tank. Brought him to a petstore in wichita, KS where he lived out his days till the store closed down. Even at the petstore, he had the same, unmoving attitude. was always in the same exact spot every time i visited the petstore. Dunno what happened to him after the store closed down.

wow 12 inches huh? thats got some beautiful colors on it there. it gets more red and orange ashe matures. i have a jade goby at 8 1/2 inches and he barely has orange on the tips of his fins. mostly he is purpleish green stripes with the eye dot behind the gills...i dont know if you have seen a small jade goby, it looks nothing of the colors yours has. i have had mine since it was about 2 inches and it was so bland, dark greenish black with the only bright color of the eye dot wich is what atracted me to him

That looks like a picture of my boy!
