How many gobies?

[mamagoose45]

How many gobies can you realistically put in a 5.5 gallon nano? Right now, I only have a little yellow clown goby holding down the fort. However, I think the green clown gobies are cool, and I've recently found a black clown goby (salwaterfish dot com has them) that I wouldn't mind having as well. I've seen people with 2 in a 5.5 but I don't know if three would be crazy. Anyone know?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

I have had 3 with no poroblems. They are so tiny and you think how many fish some folks cram into a 10 gallon! A pair of clowns and another small fish is not uncommon in a 10 so 3 teeny tiny gobies are not pushing it IMO. I would go as much as 4-5 in a 5.5 as long as you kept up your params. I love the black ones. If you do a order and need a little added to get free shipping I can get a few gobies.
