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?

Got a green clown goby in my nano now for the last 2 wks. Can't get him/her interested in any food besides live brine and frozen fortified brine. Have tried freeze-dried cyclopeeze, frozen Prime Reef, frozen Formula One, Formula One flake, sweetwater zooplankton also - won't eat any of it so far. Anecdotal evidence with a n of 1.

As always, variety is the spice of life and I think most fish do better with a variety in their diet. I wouldn't rely on just one food.

I have a yellow clown goby and did have a green clown goby but the green version didnt last long with being so shy.
The yellow is out all the time but I would read up about putting 2 together as I think I read somewhere that 2 can quarrel in a relatively small tank.

I had a yellow clown goby, they are cute and have great personality, they are definately not friendly with SPS, as I found out.

My green one has been seen twice in the two weeks Ive had him. Both times with flashights ! I dont recommend them now.

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 poor 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.

I couldn't ever keep them alive, but they are so cute!
