Jade Gobies?

[Wiggles92]

I just got these at a local pet store; I'm pretty sure that they're jade gobies. What do you guys think they are?

I took one picture with flash (second picture) and one without flash (first picture), so hopefully they help with a correct ID.

Jade gobies. I have one.

Awesome! Funny thing is that they were labeled as freshwater dragon gobies, but I knew that they definitely were not dragon gobies but that they were some other kind of goby.

As far as a specific species of jade goby goes, are they the fat sleep (Dormitator maculatus), the Pacific fat sleeper (Dormitator latifrons), or something else?

Thank you! I wasn't sure on the species ID because my searches turned up both of the previously mentioned species as being jade gobies.

Any idea as to how to determine their gender or is that not easily done without actually seeing them spawn or opening them up?

Just gave one away, great fish!

Great fish but I think they are better suited to just one per tank. They get aggressive with other gobies in my experience.

How big do these guys get?

How big do these guys get?

Usually around a foot in captivity, though there are some out there 13-14" and supposedly bigger.

Good deal, two more little monsters for my aquariums.

Are they territorial towards just other goby species or towards all other gobies including their own kind?
