I read on the internet that these fish can grow up to 24 inches. Has anyone had a Jade/Fat Sleeper Goby to grow up to this size in their tank? How about a Jade/Fat Sleeper to grow over a foot long? What is the largest Jade/Fat Sleeper Goby you have ever owned or seen in captivity?

I had a 10" one that got killed by my tropical gars, I have seen them around 14", never bigger.

How large does a fish have to be to be safe with a 14" Jade/Fat Sleeper Goby? I'm just wondering since my sleeper is in with clown loaches. I expect it will grow faster than my loaches. My sleeper is about 5-6 inches long and my loaches are 4-7 inches.

mine is about 9" right now. Biggest I have seen was 12" I think. Never heard until just now anyone being bigger than that.

How large would tankmates have to be to be safe with it? Say my Jade/Fat Sleeper Goby reaches 12 inches while my loaches are 6-9 inches, will the 6 inch loaches be safe with a 12" fat sleeper? I'm just wondering if the loaches and goby will work well together long term. I read on the internet about 2 days ago when I was reseaching the marbled goby that one guy had an 18 incher marbled goby that ate his 12" peacock bass. Made me start wondering about my Jade/Fat Sleeper Goby with my clown loaches.
