trio of gobies?

[cubsFAN]

Today I got a pair of ORA yellow line and neon blue gobies. I've already got a neon blue goby in my 33 gallon. Would one of these fish become the odd man out if they all were together in that tank? I'd like to have the trio, but no big deal if not. I've already got a place for the other neon blue. What do you guys think? Should I give it a shot or am I just condemning one of the fish to an early grave? Other fish in the tank is a pair of occ clowns and a bangaii cardinal.

Not sure in that size tank what could happen, if u get two females and a male it should be fine. I have a yellow cleaner goby in my 220g and am adding 3 more on Friday. You should probably just stick with 2 in a 33g

You'll be perfectly fine.

saw this and thought i would update. the two new gobies kicked the old blue goby out once they got established. Sadly a bully clown murdered the yellow goby six months later. Now the blue guys all by himself.

Thanks for the update, but that was sort of predictable in that sized tank. Which species of clownfish?

That stinks.
I have four neon gobies in our 205g, but I've never attempted to keep more than two in a nano, mostly from fear of what you experienced.

It was an occelaris. It was a bit of a bully so I move him out. I added a blenny and the clown turned on all the fish in the tank except it's mate.
