  1. I have had them for a couple months. They do hide a lot but I often find myself looking at this tank (as one does) and all of the sudden realize I am looking at one fo the little guys. Most of mine are colors that blend into the mosses and wood so it takes me a few to catch on 🙂 and especially during water changes they love to come out and see what’s been rummaged up 😄

  2. I have 3 hill stream loaches in a 29 gallon  with three orange fin gobies. The loaches will bulldoze through when they want to claim the food but the gobies just ignore them now. Those loaches definitely think they own the tank.

    You know, that is quite simple and intelligent. As i sit here now carefully placing my wobbly test tubes on my table to begin my water test, staring at the one tube that has a small crack in it from where it had previously fallen over. I realize i need this little invention in my life. 

    I felt this sentiment so much. "wobbly test tubes" yes.

    Full recovery. Doing well and eating again. Salt bath for a few days shrunk him down considerably but his color is back and the white markings are now fully gone. Thanks y’all.

    Great to see they are doing better. What ratio of salt did you end up using?

    I have noticed my stiphodon gobies like to burrow around in the substrate. I have them on a natural sand and small pebble mix I collected from a mountain lakeshore. I would be hesitant to use something jagged like eco complete but anything else should probably be fine. They are awesome little fish!

    That is great to hear. Thank you! I am loving him so far. I can’t wait to get him settled in 🙂

  6. Oof I hear that! I have a couple small tanks with sand now and they definitely show anything that gets on it. I made the mistake of using white sand in a tank with 2 mystery snails and their poop shows up really well 😄I just want to make sure I don’t hurt the goby with anything sharp. I would be open to gravel if that would work too. 

  7. Last weekend I acquired an electric blue neon dwarf goby. He is in the quarantine tank right now and seems to be doing well. I have been looking for substrate ideas online and I see sand is the most recommended. Does anyone have any advice on brands or other substrates that would work better? He will be in a 29 gallon with some amano shrimp and  a school of white cloud minnow.

    I have a really cool substrate that I got from amazon it’s like 20 dollars for 20 Ibs if you ever want to check it out. I think your Corys will be fine as long as it’s not sharp and it’s really fine gravel. 

    What substrate do you have? I just got a goby and am looking at different substrates and trying to decide.
