jwthought Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 Hi. I just finished cycling my 10g nano. I was wondering about the orange spot prawn goby. Does anyone has any of these? The guy at the LFS says they are hardy and get about 4 inches and good for my 10g as long as he is the only fish i put in there. I currently have about 10-12 lbs or live rock/rubble and about 12 lbs of live finely crushed aroganite. Anything else i should know about them? Any information or comments would be extremely helpful. Thanks Link to comment
Physh1 Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I wouldn't put one in because of the tank size BUT if you do choose to you'll wanna wait a while and let the food supply in your sand bed stabilize before you add one. You'd be better off choosing something else to start with. They are hardy fish but gobies are known as jumpers....another major turn off for nano-keepers with open lids. Cameron Link to comment
krysis Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Yup, my goby just jumped out today, 5 days after I got it... Link to comment
jwthought Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I already purchased the fish, but if he's going to be hard to feed, I can always return him. What would be some better fish for my 10g? I want to go for gobies, I think so are there any better choices for a beginning nano reefer? Thanks again. Link to comment
Alanna Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 The Yellow Watchman Goby (aks yellow shrimp goby) gets about 2.5-3" long and is more timid than the one you have. Alanna Link to comment
caja Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 My yellow watchman goby stays under his rock ALL the time. Shares his hole with a bristleworm! Every so often he pokes his head out but if he sees someone coming near the tank he rushes back to his hole. Kind of pointless to have a fish I can't see. I'm guessing he comes out at night and cruises around looking for food, because he doesn't come out when I feed during the day. Very frustrating IMO!! Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 My yellow watchman is awesome... skidish, but stays out. Definately plenty of character... Link to comment
jwthought Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 What do you guys think about a clarkii clown? How would that do in a 10? Great pic, johnny, btw. Link to comment
