It is interesting that almost every goby is territorial,sometimes agressive and often bully or attack smaller or another peacefull fish....On the other hand simillar species -sculpin was in my aquarium very peaceful....But sculpin was limited by temperature max to 25-26 celsius...

Yeah! What do these little guys think they are? Cichlids????

 

[Friller2009]

Notesthes robusta, the bullrout, is best kept at 1.010 or higher. Can live in fresh temporarily.

You find them in fresh streams with no access to salt here. No where in the water is safe from stonefish

DAY 79
https://www.aqua-imports.com/product/myersi-pygmy-hatchet/

Myersi Pygmy Hatchetfish
Carnegiella myersi

Size: 1”
pH: 6.5-7.0
Tank size: 7.5G/1 small group
Country of origin: Peru, Bolivia
Diet: Most live, frozen, and prepared foods of an appropriate size will suffice
Temperament: Peaceful
Temperature: 75-80° F

Description

Carnegiella myersi is the smallest of all hatchetfish, as well as one of the more delicate species. Best kept with other small, peaceful ”nano” fish, such as very small gouramis, gobies, and halfbeaks. Also best kept in rather large groups, in which they feel the most comfortable. Sensitive, and may jump out of a poorly-sealed tank.

DAY 80

Red Cheek Leporinus
Leporinus brunneus

Size: 8”
pH: 6.0-7.0
Tank size: 90G/1 small group
Country of origin: Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia
Diet: Most live, frozen, and prepared foods of an appropriate size will suffice
Temperament: Peaceful, though territorial unless kept in groups
Temperature: 75-80° F

Description

Leporinus brunneus is a very rare true Leporinus that does best in fast-moving, well-oxygenated water. They make good, albeit expensive dither fish for some more aggressive fish, such as certain South American cichlids. They also require a tight-fitting lid, due to their habit of jumping out of tanks.
