hey does anyone know how fast these guys grow, what do they like to eat
i know i shouldnt have bought it, it was an impulse buy only $5 how could i refuse
 
they get to 2 feet long and need brackish water. i'm not sure how fast they grow, but unless you have a 55G brackish water tank it's not gonna reach adulthood. NEVER EVER impulse buy a living animal!
 
Yup...they get pretty big and need brackish water for sure! They grow at a decent rate but not really too fast though! I feed mine sinking pellets and frozen bloodworms. :popcorn:
 
I use to have one, mines didnt grow very fast at all. I fed mines brine shrimp, it didnt eat the sinking or floating pellets. They also like to hide alot, unless when there's food.
 
Mine has gone from 4inches to almost 9 in about year and half. Eats frozen brine,bloodworms, and finely chopped beefheart,shrimp and fish. Really cool fish, give it a cave to hide in and expect redecorating as they like to dig things up.
 
are you talking about a violet goby with the weird eyes and the teeth?
 
Yup here's a pix

id take him back, they are a pain to keep and picky eaters
 
Mine was really easy....he eats sinking pellets and bloodworms...actually anything that sinks to the bottom that is really small he will eat. I guess I got lucky.:D
