+1 Erin, I have a Flame Fin Tomini and it is a great fish, very hardy.

YES, you can. Did that make you feel better? The Sailfin will probably be easier as they are fairly hardy, I have heard the powder blue are less hardy but I totally understand wanting one, I think they are gorgeous. Now just between you and me, here's my take on the tang thing and the size of...

Good luck Alex I can't imagine that not giving enough distraction to shake up their world! Neat video and cool sound effects. Oh no, I just realized I may have too many tangs, I love'm.

I thank everyone for contributing to this post and I hope others will give up some comments about their gobies :) I am still not for sure which one or pair I'll be getting but I enjoy hearing about your experiences and I'm sure others do as well. Again thanks for posting.

Thanks Badfish I'm glad you are having success with the yellow head sleeper. Question about him, does he sift and stay low or rise up in the water column to drop the sand? That is something else I am trying to find out about the different sifters, thanks.

I understand and agree to what you're saying about being knowledgeable about your fish, that's why I'm doing this research. I have read in various posts and on some online fish sites about certain species may starve in tanks even while taking prepared food. That's all, just asking who has had...

Thanks to all for sharing about your experiences this is the kind of feedback that all who are interested can benifit from. I would like for others who keep Gobies to share their successes and failures. I had a orange spot one time but unfortunately he went carpet surfing, now I have a screen...

I think Diamonds are cool, thanks for the info. how about any others?

Come on there's lots of gobies other than diamonds and yellow heads, I have been told that some just pick up sand sift it and drop it without swimming up and dropping out to drift back down all over. Does anyone have experience with that kind, I'd had to think I have to rely on the LFS for the...

I had a Yellow Headed Goby once that I did not like because he would take the sand up and release in the water column resulting in everything in the tank getting covered with sand. I like the little creatures and would like to have one, is there one of the many type who will clean the sand and...

Yeah babies not very likley from my experience they will be fish food. I had one one time very heavy with eggs that I guess hatched and were still clinging underneath the tail of mom. One day she jets to the surface like a rocket releasing the little ones, she did that 2-3 times but I never saw...

I love the Lemon Peel, beautiful fish! I'm sure the Flame is too he should be coming out by now, I hope you have good luck with these two and they don't get hungry as they will find coral good I think the thinh with these is just don't let them get that hungry. Oh and you're doing it right with...

Good score! Great colors on this fish I have one about that size and so far I love the little guy.

Well there you are, I always said "I'd rather be lucky that good anytime."

I'm glad for your success. Now I'm jealous, seriously it must have something to do with a. water parameters b. useable food. It always does :D. No doubt good husbandry on your part and bad on mine.

On the sponges, I think maybe just the pretty,tall,orange or purple ones die the most. I have TB deco rock and it had some orange tree sponges that slowly got smaller then disappeared all together. But I have several white, purple, black flat or ball types that have bloomed and growing well...

Great picture of your baby, the toad stool and sailfin aren't bad either. I have thought about a toad stool many times but not gotten one yet. The ones like you have with the green polyps are the nicest I think. I have a sailfin about the size of yours who is quickly becoming one of my...

put me down for snails, I've never had a snail kill a crab..........

So sorry for your bad experience with the two males, your female is beautiful! From what you said about the belly full of worms, sick...you can take comfort that there was nothing you could have done to prevented the deaths. LA is good for it I am sure, too bad you had to experience that. Makes...

Sorry for the loss but thank you and your boys for being such good neighbors. I misunderstood that you still have fish in the tank so...........yes scale back the water changes to 10-20% every other week just check the specific gravity of the tank water, match it and water temperature. You can...
