He seems to be a really cool little fish. I would love to hear about others' experiences with one Thanks, I saw that. I even talked to ORA. Other than this review above everything I've read or been told so far is very generic and scripted, so I thought I'd look for actual people who might have one. We went on vacation a couple weeks after I got the goby, and when we came back, the damsel had nipped-up fins and was terrified of it.
Evidently the goby got comfortable, claimed a fairly large patch of the tank as his territory, and started defending it. Turns out they're actually kind of aggressive towards anything that enters their territory.
Also, they have much larger territories than most gobies I've encountered- he's taken over about half of a 29g Biocube. I read they can have quite the personality. Mine has grown but he's only about 1. My Starry Blenny keeps the whole tank in line so the Goby won't be messing with him anytime soon. I've had them both for two weeks and I've seen the Goby maybe 6 times.
He now knows my schedule and has come out the last 3 nights in a row, to eat. Then he high-tails it back to his burrow. LOL I like him and hope he always stays so cool. Thread Tools.

Introduction The species is endemic to Australia, usually found on muddy bottoms or under rocks in estuaries and inshore waters along the east coast. Habitat It is usually found on muddy bottoms or under rocks in estuaries and inshore waters.
References Hoese, D. But even cutting the reading in half shows some level of brackish. Considering we haven't had a whole lot of rain; Canal A; 2 miles from the ocean, east of the drainage gate system, measures at 1. Saw some crested gobies and the possible-sculpin in this water. Canal B; 10 miles from the ocean, west of the drainages gates, and a major artery so it links directly to the intercoastal eventually, measures at 1.
Didn't see any gobies or sculpin this time but hard to see through the water lilies and aquatic grass to see anything but minnows. They are still doing fine in the 10g freshwater tank, but figure that in the long-run I don't think they'd be all that healthy in one of the established freshwater tanks. So now to start repairing that big battered tank and starting a brackish tank must Last edited: Dec 13, Well not sure if anyone was really paying much attention with this thread anyways but Looks-wise it matches a lot of the fresh-cold-water sculpins A LOT, but it was found in warm high-end brackish so seems rather unlikely.
Frillfin Goby Bathygobius soporator is what I finally ended up going with. Looks extremely similar, same color pattern, and common in the Indian River Lagoons Central East Florida so very likely it'd live here too. Not very good at identifying fish but seems close enough to call it that. Went fishing last week and increased my population to 2 Frillfin Gobies and 3 Crested Gobies.
Wasn't able to catch the Checkered Puffer we saw, but they are pretty easy to catch so think eventually I'll manage one for the tank.
It is now down to 2 Frillfin Gobies and 2 Crested Gobies, will probably go fishing for more in a week or two. The Frillfins are bottomless pits when it comes to food. Krill, flakes, shrimp pellets, ghost shrimp, guppies, small Crested Gobies oops! They never seem to get full. Saw my biggest about 4 inches swallow a rather large ghost shrimp about 1. Doesn't bother for time consuming activities like 'chewing'. Amy quickly succeeded in being the first person to raise this new-to-the-trade species in At the Tropical Aquaculture Laboratory, we received eleven first generation F1 offspring from Amy early last year The fish were immature and divided into two 20 gallon aquariums with plenty of PVC pipe and oyster shells to make them feel at home.
Sexual maturity of our F1 offspring was reached in days. Mature fish in good condition exhibit subtle traits of sexual dimorphism. Males are typically larger than females and exhibit enlarged first and second dorsal fins with brighter coloration. The first few rays of the first dorsal fin is elongated and pointed in males. Males display a somewhat more robust head and are overall lean in appearance compared to the rotund belly of females.
Males can be aggressive toward conspecifics in small tanks and outside of reproductive periods. Spawning occurs from F with a photoperiod of at least 13 hours of light. Feeding should consist of at least two daily feedings of commercial gel diets with frozen squid, shrimp, and fish flesh. PVC sections containing eggs are removed from the guarding male in the broodstock tank 4 days after spawning.
