Can I add a second yellow watchman goby?

Will a second yellow watchman goby fight with my current one?

to the death within 5 minutes. Put a mirror up beside the tank and you can see.

How do people get mated pairs?

Seriously . . . buy them as mated pair or introduce at same time and hope for the best . ..

+1^^ unless your tank is huge it will be big trouble!

 

[alzika]

Last question...is that true for all type of shrimpgobies? IE only one per tank unless introduced together? Or could I keep another type in the same tank, as long as it is not another YWG?

Well eventually, unless you have a huge tank, it will be a problem. You will end up with only one.

You can see in my sig I keep several different blennies and gobies and a jawfish: no fights---the thing is not to have one that looks or acts like another.

Sk8r, a little off topic-- have the highfin gobies and the firefish had any "issues"? Though they are not the same species, their body configuration looks quite similar.
