Black and Yellow clown goby pair?

[smartwater101]

I have a black clown goby (about 1.5 inches) and was curious if it would pair with a yellow clown goby. My LFS has plenty of yellow, so I was thinking I should get the smallest one they have. Anyone had success with this?

I have had no issues mixing and matching the different colors of clown gobies. The issue came when they did pair up, and when two of them are happy with each other they like to move into the center of your favorite, and usually most valuable SPS colony and then tear the flesh off in the center of it to make a place to lay eggs.

So be wary as to how well you want them to get along.

Right on the money. I got the small yellow and they paired immediately. Now they are cuddled up in my favorite green branching Monti. I'll definitely have to keep an eye on them.
