Does anyone have one? I'd love to see a picture if any of you have one. Very cool!

I tried 3 - they should call this the overflow goby (they like to go over the overflow - many times). Anyway, they disappered after a few days. I would only put these in a tiny tank. I have seen them avalible quite a few times, but never heard of anyone keeping them for any duration of time.

A fish you see only seldom in your tank due to its secretive life style. Requires a small and quite tank. I don't see mine often enough to be sure I still have both.

LOL :lol: Funny

That's too bad, especially after you spend an arm and a leg on them.

I talked my friend in to one! 129$ for it! They LFS had ir for about 2 months...they thought they lost it till they were digging in a tank with just a little LR rubble and there he was! My friend put it in his 24G nanocube and has never been seen from again!! Would have been cool in my 6g....but not for 129$!

After about one year (!!) I yesterday spotted both of mine together again and now know for sure that both are still alive.

It's kind of gratifying when you see they're still alive isn't it?

I have a couple of red-striped highfin gobies with a gorgeous shrimp that I see every couple of months -

I ran across a site that claims to be able to sale them for $60. Here is the link, Ocean Homes. If you can get them at their advertised price, it would be a good deal.

I can vouch for them as a vendor - they are members of my local reef club

Wow, thanks for that link, Tremelle! Great pic there! Also, peppermint shrimp for 3.99!!! Sweet! I'll have to keep them in mind for the future!
