Odyssey350kc Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I personally kept a pair of hifin gobies and a pistol shrimp all together in a 20 long. They are great fun to watch. Link to comment
MadReefer13 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 can two of them and like two swimming fish be put into the 20? I personally kept a pair of hifin gobies and a pistol shrimp all together in a 20 long. They are great fun to watch. Link to comment
Maniu Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+31+2613&pcatid=2613 Super cute and very easy to care for fish. Grows to 1" maximum. Depending on your filtration and other tank mates but you could probably do 3 to 5 in your tank. Link to comment
Guits Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I have 2 masked gobies and 1 rusty goby in a Fluval Spec V and they have been doing fine for me. Link to comment
MadReefer13 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 so what i'm seeing is most gobies can be kept together? and multiple kinds together as well? i wanna do a clown or green chromis, then as many lil gobies as possible Link to comment
Odyssey350kc Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 can two of them and like two swimming fish be put into the 20? Yeah as long as you add the fish slowly obviously, only one or 2 at a time, then wait several weeks to a month before adding another to make sure your tank can support the bio load. Like Maniu said 3-5 fish is probably the max. I had the 2 gobies, 2 nano clowns and a six line wrasse. Link to comment

Like Maniu said 3-5 fish is probably the max. I had the 2 gobies, 2 nano clowns and a six line wrasse. Just want to add that my recommendation is based on fish max size and bio-load they produce. Eviota gobies are probably one the smallest nano species, excluding inverts of cause. Also waste they produce is minimal. Clown fish on the other hand is a pig in comparison. So what I am basically trying to say is, research, research and one more time research. Make a list of species you like, learn about their habits, max size, comparability and care. Compromise on maximum number of fish your system can handle................... And divide that by 2. Link to comment
MadReefer13 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 That's why I was asking for experience there's so many gobys out there but some that are better in nanos and I had no clue if could be kept together was all Just want to add that my recommendation is based on fish max size and bio-load they produce.

I know how to add fish I've had fish before not trying add all at once that's for sure I'm not completely new had a reef for almost four years now just starting my fish over after ich toke my livestock out and have waited my fallow so finnaly looking to re stock and never really had gobys so thought I'd try em Link to comment
Odyssey350kc Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Do you have any rock anemones? I had the 2 gobies for probably 6 months, then got the rock anemone and no more tiny gobies just a little dissapearing fin and a fat anemone. Link to comment
