Sunstar Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I had an adorable neon goby (blue) Such personalities Link to comment
Red_Blenny Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I had an adorable neon goby (blue) Such personalities +1 to neon goby. I have one and it's a fun fish to watch. It'll even break up any squabble between my Pink Streak Wrasse and TSB. Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Sure would but this beauty packs a nice $$$$ And you will never see it if you don't have a group in my experience. Link to comment
DocReef Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Get some Green Banded Gobies. By far the best personality of all my fish. I've had a lot of different types of Pico Gobies. I also have a flaming prawn, very neat, but never see it, so only recommend it if its in a tiny tank with minimal rock work. The GBGs however, are always moving around the tank and are my all time favorite Gobies. Link to comment
gena Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'll second the green banded gobies suggestion. Adorable little things with tons of personality. Also blue neons are very sweet. Link to comment
Amy Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thanks all for the recommendations. I am still waiting for prices here being in Canada with our dollar right now is not so nice and the LFS are just insane for prices. I get my salt stuff from a home based business whom is way cheaper than the stores but still there is the hike is prices. Today I bought 3 Florida Ricordeas, made sure to get the largest ones with at least 2 heads each have to get my moneys worth. Nice color to pick from so that was on my bucket list from summer, we just cannot get all the kinds you do in the USA and for some reason it has taken her until now to get the Floridas. So I now have 5 of them have to get my Ric Garden going, keeping my fingers crossed this time it will work better. Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 What size pico? The Antenna gobies and their pistol shrimp are great little fish and they're not super expensive. Link to comment
Amy Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Tank is a 5 gallon. Want something that does not perch to much on corals, rock I don't mind. My past green clown goby had this thing for my Miami Hurricane Chalice frag, did not hurt it but I know it ticked the chalice off at times. Link to comment

Krakens Aquarium in Toronto sometimes get ORA Sharknose Gobies! By far my favourite little goby. Link to comment
Amy Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 B.C. we have J&L but that is 6 hrs from me. The place I get my saltwater stuff from here says her USA supplier can get many gobies I would just have to get her to check the prices for me. Toronto is a long way a way. Link to comment
Ephemeral Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I was at Kraken yesterday (bought two clowns) and can confirm that their stuff is top notch. The shop is very clean, animals are in top condition, and they take pride in their work. I'm pretty sure the bulk of their business is mail order - check them out. The clowns they have are ORA so perhaps they can order in any ORA fish? http://www.orafarm.com/products/fish/gobies/ Link to comment

FlamingPrawn Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I know you're looking for a goby - but i've been considering a Coral Croucher or pair for my CAD lights 4 gallon when its time... sadly it seems not too many people have these guys Link to comment
drexel Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Neon Goby! These little guys are great! Plus, you get the added benefit of a cleaner. Link to comment
Amy Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Those Crouchers are cute, never seen those guys before. Thanks for posting another recommendation. I still have not decided on one yet. Have to see what is available first . Link to comment
drexel Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Btw, my neon goby is from ORA. You can choose between 4 elacatinus species, if I remember correctly? Every time my hand goes in the tank, mine starts to clean me up. Great fish! Very active. Link to comment
Droy008 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Sharknose Goby Oohh, oohh, I likey! Link to comment
Tamberav Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I have 5 green banded gobies in my 5g. They are amazing fish! Neons are great too though. Link to comment

They get snatched up pretty fast though it seems. Link to comment
