Flaming Prawn Goby/Mandarin Goby Compatible?

[Blayz77]

i was curious as to weather these two fish can get along in the same home.

yes, there are only two ways u can put them in. either put pairs or add them in at the same time.

Just wondering what size tank you are planning on putting these in? I had a flaming prawn goby in a 6g for over a year and the only time I ever saw it was at night. Not only do they usually hide but they are about half inch long!

Those seem like about two of the most passive fish around. I can't imagine an issue and if you do have trouble, I'll take the goby off your hands.

they both will be going into a 50 gallon, so should be plenty of room.

ive read that they are very shy but thats ok, they are kinda neat looking.

its just going to be the prawn goby a mandarin and a pair of clowns, snowcasso's if i can manage to get em. grade a picassos if i have to settle.

thats all i had planned for fish... the mandarin goby will most likley be last since my tank is still pretty new so i need to seed it with lots of pods and stuff

if you are going to keep small fish in there you could get a couple panda gobies. or get 2 or 3 flaming prawns.

In a 50g you will NEVER see it! Mine originally was in a 24 that was neglected by my friend till he gave it to me. We didn't even realize it was still alive till I took all the rock out of the tank! personally Id go with Yahsia gobies or dragon gobies that will come out and you will actually see.

if you put a flaming prawn goby in that tank, it's going to get lost and you'll never see it. i'd worry about it getting enough food as well, especially if you have more competitive eaters in the tank

I have a flaming prawn in a 12g and never see it, it would be a waste of money in a 50g.

well what about a different type like mayby a dracula goby paired with a shrimp? i should see them come out a lot eh? doesnt have to be a flaming prawn i just thought they looked neat.
