2 clowns

[drdrew]

can you keep 2 clown gobies (green) in a 15 gal together or will they fight?

i think they should be fine but don't take my word for it. if you happen to get a male and female they might pair up and even spawn for you. you might want to get some as young as possible since they *might* do the sex-changing thing that clowns do (i.e. if both are males one might change to a female if it is young enough to be able to do so). check on that.

Here is a good article on clown gobies:

Hope that helps!

so whats the verdict?

Yes, two of the same species is just fine. I'd avoid mixing species, though, although it may be possible amonst close relatives of the Gobiodon genus.

 

To clarify what flaunt said earlier, do not confused gobiodon sex morphism with that of clownfish. Unlike clowns, who can only make the male to female morph, clown gobies (and all other Gobiodons) are capable of bi-directional morphing.
