Fish stock question

[Dombake]

Hi RC

I've checked out LA website and some others and generally speaking, gobies don't get in unless they are mated pair. My question is though; would two completely different gobies clash; I'm thinking neon goby and yellow watchman?

Cheers

It's possible and it depends on the tank size.

Tank size in terms of territory/substrate rock?

I have a watchman and a neon goby. No issues at all. They don't occupy the same depth. The watchman never leaves the sand and the neon goby zooms around from rock to rock or hangs vertical on the glass.

yes territory. sometimes they can become aggressive towards fish of similar body types. But that's just sometimes. I have done it before with no problem.

This was my thinking also, one on rocks, other around sand. I've been struggling to decide between the two and may go for both then.

I like them both a lot. Completely different fish that each add a nice element to the tank. The neon gobies are tiny though and can squeeze into any hole. If you have any powerheads that you turn off at times, make sure the neon goby isn't hanging out inside the powerhead before you turn them back on.
