Yellow clown goby

[20 gallon]

Anyone have any experience having a pair of these? I'm about to pick 2 up to add to my tank

I have been keeping them since the 70s and have a breeding pair now. They are no problem as long as you have some sort of meaty food. I feed them, and all my fish live blackworms and small pieces of clam. If you have 2 males, they may fight. A pair will spawn constantly on acropora, killing it with their eggs.
You can see her eggs just above her.

Great fish!

From what I've heard back, tend to do better in pairs.

Awesome, thanks for the info

I got a green one for free but am very hesitant to put it into my SPS tank due to their habit to damage their host corals with their egg laying.
If I would keep it I would add another one as I only would want to keep them as pair - maybe later in a Nano tank with some hardy birdsnest corals...
