Help with raising Marbled gobies

[cyc]

I kept marbled gobys for almost 20 years now these fish will grow fast and very large if properly cared for. i have a breeding pair with a 16 inch male and a 9-10 inch female. also have a few young growouts one has made it 8 1/2 inches from less than 2 inches in about six months gravel doesent matter but these fish thrive in tanks with lots of wood rockwork and caves. they will eat anything that will fit in there mouths and defend there caves against any fish. also have spotted sleeper gobys jade sleeper gobys and purple spot gudgeons all from the eleotridae or sleeper family. i have lost lots of fish to my gobys pm me a number and i can send you video of my pair. lost a jeff rapps dorado and a shortnose gar to my female spotted sleeper and i was pissed but thats the risk you run with these fish. i feed large goldfish and rosey reds that i feed heavily for a week or so cichlid fry that i raise from my pairs, crayfish ,earthworms, tilapia fillets live and frozen shrimp and small crabs. hope this helps steve

well if you scroll down to the post monster marble gobys you will see a marble goby a got last week of january alil less than 2 inches it hasnt been 2 months yet and hes a lil over 4 inches . wich equals about a inch a month on a fish that usually grows less than 2 feet thats not slow growth at all.

These fish can eat thier own wieght in food in a day and burn of food very fast. most ive seen are under feed, my gobys stay fat.

Hi Polaric.. I got mine at Clementi. At a shop they call C328. This is the address, Blk 328, Clementi Ave 2 Singapore 120328 Tel: 6777 8468. You can try looking there. Hope this helps.

Thanks regz46, I got 2 marbled gobies from fellow forummer, both 8-9", but seem too big to comm with my 3" IT. I probably give it free to other interested in marbled gobies.
