Jade "sleeper" goby

[TheEelKing]

Can a jade goby go with these fish:

1-Clown knife (4 inches)
7-Clown loaches (3-7 inches)
1- Fire eel (12 inches)
1- Severum (6 inches)
1-Leopard Ctenopoma (6 inches)
1-Black Ghost Knifefish (8 inches)
1-Thin Bar Datnoid (5 inches)
3-Silver Dollars (4 inches)

The goby is about 5 inches. The fish are currently in a 180 gallon, but should be upgrading to a 300 gallon by October/November. I was also thinking of adding a 5 inch wide bar datnoid along with the goby.

he can for now, but as he gets larger he will eat anything under 5 inches for sure.

Looks good. I had one with sorta the same setup you have. He paid no attention to anything. Almost to the point of being a nuisance, because he would blindly bump into everyone at feeding time. Cool fish though.

I have a big one that you can see in some of my videos, used to be really aggressive and ate some big fish including needlenose characins (about 5" to the gobies 6"). Now at about 8-9" he is very mellow and friendly.

Mine, too. He just follows his nose and ignores what he sees. He's very gentle and retiring, but still a predator.

I bought my 5 inch goby last night and it doesn't seem to want to eat anything. I put algae wafers in the tank, krill and hikari sinking carnivore pellets and it touched nothing. It didn't eat any pellets this morning either. What should I do?

give it some time, some fish require a little more time for adjustment. This will usually happen with other tanks mates that were preexisting.

Thanks. Are these foods fine, though? Will it eat the hikari sinking pellets? That to me is the most important thing as I think fish should have a staple pellet diet. I also use earthworms and red wiggler worms in my tanks.
