    neither of those fish would live in a 5 gallon even without eachother, neon gobies tend to be very difficult to feed

    Neon goby should be fine in a 5g system. Ive kept them in a 2.5g reef. just make sure you have a wide assortment of food ready at your disposal including rotifers and cyclops.

    this was exactly my thought, to many aquarists it is very difficult

    i saw on another thread you stated you were 10. i would skip on the neon goby it is very difficult for an aquarist like me to care for one and im 5 years older than you. get some easier fish to start

    my LFS has some cute clown gobies! and why are neon gobies so hard to care for because they were one of the first marine fish captive bred!
