multiple gobies in 24g.

[bowfront26]

I am setting up a 24g. nano cube with livestock from my other tank. I was wondering if I would be able to keep an orange spot prawn goby and a yellow watchmen goby or a yasha hase. I have lots of bottom caves in the sand so I think they would be able to keep to themselves. Does anyone have any input?

The ywg will bluster and threaten. Unfortunately he occasionally follows through with a bite (got a bit of my mandarin's tail.) I really don't know how it will stack up to have 2 prawn gobies, the ywg and the orange spot, in the same tank. I'm curious myself, because they're great fish.

...just one orange spot prawn goby and a YWG or a yasha.

I think Sk8r meant keeping two different types of shrimp (prawn, same thing) goby in the same tank, not two o-s gobies - all the gobies you mention have a symbiotic relationship with pistols.

Honestly, I don't think I'd try it, there's not enough floor space. My o-s is VERY territorial, any fish or shrimp (other than his pistol) that comes near the bottom of the tank gets a good sound talking to and lots of clicking from the shrimp.

He's always on duty, ready to chase intruders away...
