    Hello all,

    I am a newbie and wanted an opinion on something. We are looking to upgrade to a 72 gallon aquarium in the near future and currently we have a baby yellow watchman goby in our 29 gallon tank. I was wondering if I wanted to get a diamond goby at some point will the two get along? Or is it best to have only one by itself (excluding the whole mated pair bit)?

    Suggestions would be most welcome!

    Thanks,

    halostar

    those are 2 small fish that will need lots of space if they are ever going to get along ... i wouldn't try it with anything less than a 120G +
