I didn't think that you could keep con species of gobys together ? So the Court Jester is in there too ? What do you think could be kept on a smaller scale, 75 gal ? Thx, curt.

Yes, the Rainford hangs out with them as well.
It's a big ol goby party!!

I originally had the Steinitz and Randalls pair in a 46 bowfront together.
 
My favorite for a small tank is a Tail Spot Blenny and in a larger, but still small tank is a Midas Blenny. Both are really comical and are one of the most interesting to watch....IMO.

Both great additions as well, another couple of my favorites.
The blue Midas Blennys that have been popping up are gorgeous.
 
I have 2 Court Jester gobies. One in a 21 gallon and the other in a biocube 29. Really like them. They like to to sift sand and sleep in holes in rocks. Highly recommend them.
 
Well, I just stocked a small Filefish. Waiting for him to start annihilating my Aptasia . I haven't seen him eat the first one yet,,, but that goes for corals too ... What a cute little dude. Has no fear of any others. Just cruises around pickin' on the rock. Loves to eat when I feed.
 
i love my clown goby. even if he likes to sit on the acans and favias. cleaner goby tries to clean my hands. my rainford goby acts wrassey, i have a possum wrasse, a small pajama cardinal, a small watchman goby and a big cleaner shrimp

i like the clown gobies the best because they have the most personality imo
 
My favorite goby in my tank has to be the Black Barred Convict Goby. While I usually see him only with moon lights hes an awesome little Goby!

I also have a neon goby (had a pair one died due to age), midas blenny (they get to be 6") and a golden sailfin blenny (juv).
 
  1. Yellow Tang
  2. Percula Clownfish
  3. Matted Filefish
  4. Flame Hawkfish
  5. Green Mandarin
  6. Blue Green Chromis
  7. Blk & Wht Bicolor Chromis
  8. Pajama Cardinal
  9. Kaudern's Cardinal
  10. Royal Gramma
  11. Pyle's Wrasse
  12. Lubbock's Wrasse
  13. McCosker's Wrasse
  14. Yellow Watchman Goby (In the Sump)
I have two Cardinals, and yes you are correct, they just sit there all day till the lights go off, then they start hunting at night. Ok here's my current list. I am trying to catch the Blk & Wht Chromis to take it out. The tank is a 75 gal w/ 30 gal sump.
 
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Geometric Hawkfish (Plectranthias inermis) yet. They stay small, have neat colors, a cool personality, and they're peaceful.

I had one. They are very small and very secretive in a larger tank because they get easily intimidated by larger fish. I wouldn't put one in anything larger than a 30 gallon nano cube.
