Nanobuds Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hi all. I'm setting up my BC14 again (tore it down when I set up my 75 gallon) and it's cycling now. Was wondering if I could keep 2 of these guys in a BC14 - the only other fish would be a False Perc? Or - would one of these guys get along with a yellow watchman? they have both at the LFS and I like them both. sorry if I shouldn't post this question here, i'm new to these forums. Thanks. its fine to post here! Only get 2 clown gobies if they are already paired up, or they will fight. Yellow clowns gobies are peaceful to other fish and will to fine with the perc and watchman. You'll have to forgive picture quality. I got a new camera and I'm still learning how to take pictures of moving objects. If they'd only pose for the camera, then it would make things a whole lot easier. umm... This is a clown goby thread... Not a clown thread... Quote Link to comment
xlzerolx Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) lol hope you don't mind me asking questions in here about the clown gobies. Is it all clown goby types that have the habit of chewing on sps polyps or just the yellow clown type? I have a birdsnest and monti cap in my 3 gallon, and if I ever do add a fish later on it'll definately be a clown goby, just want to know what I'm in for if I do add one. Thanks!

No, it isn't just the yellow clown goby (gobiodon okinawae). In the wild, many of them live in SPS colonies, feed on the polyps, and even make nests on the branches. You may get an individual that doesn't eat your sps, but it is unlikely. Edited May 9, 2009 by lakshwadeep Quote Link to comment
zjharva Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Heres mine: I got him a week ago. He is eating frozen food, which is good because I heard they were picky. Quote Link to comment
GiantBen Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Is it correct that two clown gobies (of different colors) would not do well together in a 29Gal tank? Quote Link to comment

Alcapown Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (GiantBen @ May 9 2009, 08:55 PM) * Is it correct that two clown gobies (of different colors) would not do well together in a 29Gal tank? " I have a YCG, GCG, and BCG (w/ red face, hes different lol) all in the same 10g, and there is no fighting of any kind. It was quite funny actually upon adding the latest additions, which are the GCG and the black one. I add them both after acclimating for a bit, and the YCG, Carl, has been in the tank for quite some time, first fish in it ever, and he checks both them out upon their entering. So like, the green goby goes to a rock in the middle and is just chilling, getting used to things, and Carl being the very caring goby that he is swims and perches right beside him, and begins scooting closer and closer, little by little, until he is basically cuddling haha. So naturally, the gcg moved , but still it was neat. I realize I could be the exception and not the rule, but I have no issues of my different gobies together in the same tank.

addicted2reefer Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Its fairly new, but i havent seen the YCG bite at it, but it has a hiding spot on it for sure and stays there in the dark. and before the Monti, it liked sittin on a ric.

Nanobuds Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 aww that sucks... well he looked happy in those pics!! Quote Link to comment
doolspin Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) Here is mine in my new pico... he's still a little shy... And extra large clickable Also, I had a problem with him not eating flake.. took half a clove of garlic and put it in a shotglass of rinsed frozen brine, that got him eating and hes starting to nibble on flake. Also, everyone loves live brine shrimp, fresh from the hatchery! Edited May 19, 2009 by doolspin Quote Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 well, my little guy has been bad lately. he has been munching on 2 montiporas, and they arent looking too happy. so i ordered a 3 gallon pico, and in he will go with 3 sexy shrimp and 3 bumblebee shrimp. Quote Link to comment
