peppermint22 Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Hello again! I've got a question regarding the compatibility of clown gobies with certain species of fish: Is it advisable to put a clown goby together with a dwarf hawkfish in a 29G reef? I've read that clown gobies get along well with juvenile hawkfish as they might share the same coral branch that they're perched on. I've also read that clown gobies have a toxic mucous. Would that be enough to deter other fish from bothering it? Besides, my dwarf hawk's mouth is too small to swallow a clown goby. Link to comment
Dave ESPI Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 shoud be fine. Clown gobies tend to hide amongst coral polyp heads, and some speculation is to be said about them picking up palytoxins in their slime coats similarly as the Clownfish do so as to not be stung, OR so as to make them unflavorable to other fish. HTH. Link to comment
