Goby Question

[ColdwaterJosh]

Hello there folks!

I have a quick question, in my tank at the moment I have a Goby and Pistol shrimp, and the tank is 15G. I would like to add a Clown Goby to my tank, but fear the two Gobies may fight? Am I right or wrong?

Many thanks

gobies tend to be very peaceful fish.
i've found clown gobies prefer being up off the bottom, and if your original goby is paried with the shrimp it'll spend most time near the bottom i suspect so the 2 won't run ito each other too much.

i imo it all depends on hiding places my clown goby loves hiding in between the rocks and i dont really see it that much one thing i would like to add is sometimes its hard to get the clown goby to feed when i first got mine for the first few days i didnt see it it anything i find that feeding small pieces of brine shimp 3 times a day work for me but on i dont think u will have any problems if u got loads of places for the gobys to hide

I think you will be OK as well. As said, shrimp gobies like the substrate, clown gobies like to perch on corals.

Thanks for all your responses everyone! I'm torn between getting a Clown goby or a pair of black clowns, hmmm
