Mixing Gobies

MagReef · 01-09-2008, 08:16 AM

Does anyone know if it would be ok to mix a pair of Yellow Watchman Gobies with a Pair of Orange Spot Gobies and their Pistol Shrimp?

I figured it might be ok in a 75 gallon tank if they can make their burrows away from each other.

Yellow watchman gobies are pretty mild mannered fish. Will probably stay hidden in your busy tank most of the time.

I would not think there would be any territorial issues with other gobies in a 75 gal.

Just make sure to target feed, as watchmans will usually hide out when other fish are feeding.

My experience anyway.

Unfortunately their is no easy answer to this question as different species of gobies have different personalities right down to the individual goby itself.
I would think you may have a chance if you have a nice array and amount of corals and live rock to offer them places to hide, and call home!
