I'm talking about the Violet Goby, or for those of you who actually know all of the really cool stuff about fish, the Gobioides broussonetti.
I had one up until it became spaghetti for another fish. Mine would hide 90% of the time. I used salt with mine but was told you can convert them to freshwater. I was told they'll eat ghost shrimp but I've never seen it. Mine would just eat all the scraps at the bottom of the tank.
I have 2 at over a foot each, however only 1 of them is a G. broussoni(or whatever it is),. the other is a G. Peruanus. IO don't no if the G P is rare, but it is definantly rarer than the common G. broussoni. These fish have lage mouthes, but small throats, making them good with the smallest of fish. I have kept mine with a school of pea sized convict fry, no problems. do no keep them with fish that nip fins such as barbs. They will always come from amazon estuaries, and come in brackish aclimated. they can be acclimated to full fresh, but it must be done very slowly. you can through one from a fw tank into brackish, but not vice versa, or they will slowly die.
