Goby's!!! Which one???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
well, there are all kinds of gobies, it is the largest fish family in the world. How big is your tank?? DO you want mid column, or bottom dweller. The Fire gobies are gorgeous fish that occupy mid column, but are only meant for real peaceful community. The prawn gobies are bottom dwellers that pair up with a shrimp, a prawn shrimp, and stay very small. Bith types are pretty common and range in prices from $10 for some of the prawn gobies, to about $250 for the best Fire goby. Yes there is a fire goby that is around $12.

Get a Water COw!!! WE have one that is going to make its way from the LFS to our house within days!!!
 
I think the white cheeked would end up archer snacks
 
there are a lot of gobies that get to about 2 feet or a bit under. would Periophthalmus barbarus work?
 
If your tank is well oxenegated and has a little current like from a small power head there are some great brackish-fresh gogies in the Awaous genus, 8-12" so they are to big for the archers to eat while not being aggressive themselves, most eat fishfood, insects, small inverts like worms, and also algea. they are mainly bottom dwellers that move in sudden little spurts. here are pics of one (most look very similar) this is the river goby (Awaous banana), the pics are from Artigas Azas and from gobidae.com
