Cuttlefish (cause' They Flash) Gobies

[Gill]

Finally Found some more of these and they are great.
They have Settled in well, and I MADE Sure that they had been eating in the LFS.
They have taken the Hikari pellets and Spirulina Pellets well.
I usually See them Eating algae off, of the Glass in the Mornings and Evenings and then never during the day.
I am going to get a few more, as i Love the way they interact with each other change colors so fast like a cuttlefish.
From the Muddy Brown to OffWhite with a few Black Stripes to the Green marbled.
I have found that the smaller ones acclimate/settle in better than larger adults to begin with.

Thanks,
My Secret is a Always Call the LFS on delivery Day to find out what they have had in.

These are not from MA, as theres Died without eating last time they had them in.
These are From A5 in Nuneaton and are only 3.50 each.

Once i get some more on thursday as they are closed for deliveries Wednesdays.
I will take a Video of them Interacting and displying to each other.

Neale, Do you know anything about these.
have never really found any good info on them

They look great! I've always liked the look of Gobies. What other fresh water gobies are there?

Thanks for that info I was looking around a bit earlier (quiet day at work ), is it the case that they generally prefer brackish? I did read that the Knight goby can live in freshwater but prefers hard water. Would this be the same for others too?

Bumblebee gobies thrive in both fresh and brackish water, but from what i've read the rest are 100% freshwater. I've only kept bumblebees so i cant really comment lol
