walt13 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I am planning a 10 gallon nano at work in the office. I would like to keep it simple with shrooms, zoos and softies. I would like to stock it with 2 clown gobies, 2 sexy shrimp and maybe a purple firefish and a few snails. Does anyone see any problems? I know firefish are jumpers so I need a glass top. thanks.

phergus_25 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 the clown gobies might fight but i dint have any experiance just being in the same nitch in the tank and it beign small but i'm not shure Link to comment
liquidfluidity Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I agree. They most likely will fight. I have a freind that has 2 in a 55g and they find each other now and then - then the fight is on. I don't think that there is any sexual dimorphism but a male and a female might work. Link to comment
walt13 Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Thanks. I guess I assumed they were able to change sexes. I will have to check. My goal was to have a pair. I will look at the LFS to see if they sell any mated pairs. Well 1 is better than 2 that will fight until 1 is dead. Walt Link to comment

Get one substantially smaller than the other. http://www.breedersregistry.org/database/GOBOKI01.htm I'd make sure there's enough perching space and caves for two of them though. And I don't know if its normal behavior but my Gobidae Okinawae is an olympic jumper, little sucker can get a good 12" height out of the tank. Edit: I also have "heard" that they fight, however I rack that up to typical internet misinformation. I've seen quite a few tanks that house multiple Yellow Clown Gobies. I think it all comes down to tank size and hiding spaces. If you shove two elephants in a closet, someones going to die. If you're trying to breed them I understand they're a PITA to feed early on they're on phyto and rots a lot longer than clowns. Link to comment
