Hector's and Rainford's owners, odd question...

[Peter Eichler]

For those of you that own Hector's and Rainford's gobies, have you ever seen another fish attack your goby? In particular I'm wondering if any of you have introduced them to a tank and had current residents attack. I'm not talking just a little chasing or posturing...

Thanks much for any input!

Anyone?

I have a Hector in my 135 reef. when he went in (1 of the last added) it seemed nobody payed him any mind. I have tangs ,damsels,dwarf angel, other gobies, and since day 1 I have had no issues ....Knock wood! Why do yo ask?

I imagine that he has some aggressive fish and he wants to add one.

I have a rainfordi and no one in the tank even notices him. He ignores them, too. They live in separate worlds.

In short, I've never seen visible aggression from another fish on a Rainford's or Hector's and was thinking it perhaps had something to do with their coloration or eye spots. My second post here explains it a little more...
