MidiMouse Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Hey guys, Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Hector's gobies and how hard they are to care for...I got a 5.5 and am looking for a cool fish to get. I heard that they are easier to keep than their rainfordi cousins. Any thoughts? Thanks, Lam Link to comment
Pinrod Urkish Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Just got a rainford's goby, like two days ago. I was a bit worried when I heard that they are hard to care for after I got it. I guess if a fish gets hungry enough he'll eat, so thats what mine has done. Three times a day I feed mysis or marine cuisineand my goby's been loving it. But in a 5.5 I think it would be quite difficult. Even though i've been feeding mine it still sifts through the sand. You quite a bit of need opend sand for the goby to sift which i don't think you have in a 5.5 Besides it took me a year to find the rainford's, so how (and where) are you going to find a hector's goby? they're not that common.

MidiMouse Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 Yeah I kind of figured that it could be small...rainford's are somewhat common where I live and hector's show up often enough where it wouldn't be too difficult to get one. Initially I wanted a rainfordi, but leaned towards the hector's b/c I heard they are easier to care for. Still not sure though on the goby then... thanks for your help, Lam Link to comment
nanocat Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 In SoCal we get a lot of fairly rare fish. They hit LAX before they get sent out across the nation. Link to comment
