Clown Goby Questions....?

[Lpabsolute]

Hey, I've been thinking about getting a pair of Clown Gobies. Is there anything i need to know about them? I've heard that they are very peaceful and easy to keep. They would be going into a 54g corner with two small clowns. Is it ok to get two gobies of different color? I like the red and yellow ones. I usually feed my small clowns cyclopeeze, is this an ok diet for the gobies?

They can be hard to feed, be sure you observe them eating before purchasing.

They are peaceful, and any of the species can be combined with one another.

They are peaceful fish and fun to watch I had no problems feeding them, but if you have acros forget about them, they picked mine to the point of residing, killed couple frags and my poof birdnest just fall apart, bad little buggers. The only good thing it was that I was able to catch them at night while they were slipping in their favorite acro. They went back to the LFS. Finally I have polyp extension again and a few frags recovered except my green birdnest.

They also like to sit on the mantle of clams.

I have a green and a yellow. They are very cute and spend all day sitting in coral colonies. It can stop some from opening their polyps but they don't seem to have done any lasting damage. I'm worried about the green one as although I see him eat he is very skinny. I ususally try to target feed them with small food such as Cyclopeeze, ground up flake or brine shrimp.

HA! I came to this forum to ask the same exact question! I recently added a clown goby (yellow) to my 90, and he quickly became one of my favorites! I'd like to know if I can keep one of each color succesfully in a 90; would that work since there is space and they are so small?
