Diamond Goby with a Yellow Watchman goby?

[Dun Properly]

Has anyone had both a diamond goby and a yellow watchman goby in the same tank?

I currently have a yellow watchman in my 46 bow along with a black & white clown and a melanarus wrasse. I want to introduce a diamond goby to add a bit of sand maintenance, but I am concerned about how he will get along with the watchman. Has anyone had any experience with this pairing?

I did some research and determined that it would be a bad idea to have both of these guys in my 46G.

I have a diamond and a yellow watchman in my 90. I've never had a problem.

I have both in a 185g. The diamond couldn't care less about the YWG. However, the YWG chases the diamond off when he gets too close to his burrow. No major squabbles though, the YWG just keeping his area clear.

Hmm, well that is interesting. I have "heard" that it is a 50/50 chance there will be a problem. It concerns me a bit that my tank has a much smaller footprint than both of your tanks.
I may try to find a small diamond goby and give it a shot.

Don't waste your money on the diamond. They will find a way to kill themselves. I tried 2 of them and they both found ways to torpedo themselves perfectly through eggcrate.

I had both in a 4' tank, but they didnt like each other. With less space to get away from each other, i'm not sure it would work out.
