Jade Gobies?

[PaiLum92]

Finally decided i want 2-3 Jade Gobies for my 72g temporary tank.

- Are they very agressive? I have a 5" pleco, the Gobies are going to be smaller, will it be fine?
- Are they schooling fish, do they do well in groups of 2 or more?
- Will they accept any food, such as tilapia fillets?
- Any advice?

They can be aggressive to each other, specifically dominant males abusing other males and females. Usually, they are peaceful. They are easy to feed, get about a foot long and are very hardy. The pleco and gobies will probably just ignore each other, that's what they usually do. Easy and adorable fish that beg for food. Males are more orange and females are more blue. 72 gallons might be a little small, bit if you can keep your nitrates low they'll have room to move.

Should i try and get 1 male and 1 female then?

If you can tell their sex at that size, sure.

Bump? Something came up so i am picking the up tomorrow.. Need to know will a male bully a female if they are the only two in the takn except for a 6'' algea eater? Also, what are thier breeding habits in captivation? Is it likely they will breed, if so, are they very territorial/agressive? Would my Algea Eater be in trouble, i.e. a big snack?
