Panic Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Was at the LFS yesterday and I spotted a tiny little red striped goby - the LFS owner called it a "candy Stripe Goby". It was remarkeably pretty and very inquisitive, more so than the firegobies. Does anyone know this fish, or had experience with it? Would it be suitable for a nano (5G or 15G)? What does it feed on, and what size does it grow to? (yeah, I've done a search here but I only find references to Candy Cane Corals) many thanks in advance Link to comment
Simbo18 Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I know a guy who had one. He was very impressive just like you have described. Anyway, I belive it's hard to get them to eat with any fish larger than him in the same tank. So, if you have a clown that's bigger he might not even come out of the rock work. I think you could keep him in either 5 or 15 gal. Good luck. Luke Link to comment

Panic Posted June 23, 2003 Author Share Posted June 23, 2003 Thanks for the link, busy browsing now, haven't yet found it. I saw a sign in the (same) LFS that now referred to it as a "Gold Head Goby". I was tempted to buy it because it looks stunning, but I decided against because I know nuttin' about this little critter. Instead I bought myself some beautiful blue mushrooms which appear to be splitting and will hopefully infest my tank! Link to comment
