animalmaster6 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 It's the only goby that pays $100 for a tiny 1 inch fish Link to comment
nanoreef-R Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I'm sure you could find more expensive out there! Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Find one Magnificent Shrimp Goby doesn't count. Also pairs of rare gobies don't count Link to comment
NaClCrocodile Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Find one Magnificent Shrimp Goby doesn't count. Also pairs of rare gobies don't count Lol took the words right from my fingers. So they're still going for $100? I thought I read they they were down to $45-60 but I suppose that supply was short lived. Why doesn't it count anyway? Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 You can deffinetly get them for that but it's pretty hard to find that price. Those don't count because Hype said he only wants gobies under 1.5" Link to comment
rocko52286 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Really like your scape. The piece breaking the surface is a nice touch. Link to comment

Those don't count because Hype said he only wants gobies under 1.5" Well when you do, make sure to let me know before you buy one lol. Well that's cool then. I think he should get a Gumdrop Coral Croucher. Very similar in action to a goby, but actually in the scorpion fish family. It's got one barb on it's dorsal fin, I felt it to make sure lol.

Nemo Niblets Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Wouldn't the coral croucher eat the other gobies? Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 No, it depends on the species of coral croucher. Some are bigger than others. Link to comment
NaClCrocodile Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Mine seems really chill. Lol it was more like I brushed it's back and felt a nub that I assume is it's barb. I haven't seen a larger species, mine is about 3/4" front to back and about 1/2" top to bottom. It's fun to watch him dart out for flake but supplemental feeding is pretty necessary. I didn't for a while and he got really thin. He's on the rebound though. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I always thought the larger species' barbs were dangerous and felt like a bee sting lol. The larger species have large mouths, I wouldn't trust them with small gobies. Link to comment

Rehype Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 My LFS had an awesome piece of live rock that i couldnt resist. Its hard to tell from the pic but it has such an awesome shape... Plenty of overhangs and crannies to support my growing goby family. I only replaced the island on the left and im really happy with how it looks. So far some of my dwarf cerith snails like to hang out on the rock thats exposed to the air. Heres a pic with just the blue+ bulbs on..Let me know what you think. Link to comment
