Fire prawn goby

[Kjreiner1]

Anyone keeping a Fire prawn goby? I'm very interested in this little hoby but are fairly expensive so was wondering if someone has had good success with them? Are they hard to care for can you put more than 1 in a tank?

They are extremely tiny and hide almost all of the time. They are best suited for nano or pico aquariums and need small size foods, likely live to start with and then trained to frozen (thats what I did with them). If the tank is too large, you'll probably just never see it again after it's added.

I kept a tiny 15 litre tank with 2 panda gobies and one of these. Even though the tank was small and you could see all around it, I never saw it more than once without having to move rocks to find it. It might as well have been living in someone else's tank for the amount I saw it.
They are cool and people who have them seem to like them even if they don't see them very often but for me it would take very special planning and a very limiting rockwork tank to have another which wouldn't be fair on the fish.

I have a 34 gallon but I do have a lot of rock work in it. I love gobies as they seem to have a lot of personality but not as much fun if you never see them. Thank you!!

I had one for a while in a 6g....never saw it unlessI was looking in the tank at night with a flashlight. Cool little fish but waaay over priced for a fish you'll rarely see!!
