Jade Gobies?

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?

It may work if you have a m/f breeding pair. I stick with one goby per tank since I think that if one grows faster than the other, the larger one may kill the smaller one.

Any idea how to tell if I have a pair? The smaller one has much brighter coloration if that's any help.

They seem to be getting along fine so far; they have been sticking together for the most part.

The larger goby now chases the smaller goby when they get too close to each other. Maybe they're not a pair...

The ones at my LFS seem happy in mixed groups. They also have no caves to claim so that could be part of it. My own jade goby loves to have a hidey hole and defends it fiercely from the senegal and hoplo cat.

Easy to feed. Eat hair algae in the wild by the fistful. Feed lots of algae wafers and try veggies. Omnivore diet, veggie based.
