Twin Spotted Goby?

[snorvich]

While I have seen these many times in the wild, I have never kept them or seen them in aquaria. These would be going in a largish tank which has a long established pair of mandarins. Anyone keep these? Can you keep multiples? Or, only pairs, where can one buy a pair? Any observations on these fish would be appreciated as well as length of time kept, feeding, etc. Thanks in advance.

i've kept a pair before but one didn't make it. i couldn't find a way to tell them apart but my LFS gets a bunch of them in at a time so i would just watch the tank and they would usually pair off after a few days. mine disappears for months at a time sometimes. i thought he was gone but i saw him sitting in the sand last week. mine never ate much of my food but he always stayed fat from sifting through the sand. i think there a little like mandarins food wise. i've had mine for about 4 months. they do need an established sand bed.

Thanks. I have heard they are very difficult and want to get any info from people that keep them.
