engineer goby compatibility

[valasaraptor]

since my purple striped dottyback went carpet surfing ive been looking for another fish and i was woundering if it was safe to add a yellow clown goby but wasnt sure if my engineer would eat him hes only 2 1/2'' and the yellow clown goby is about 3/4'' the engineer goby will be moved into a 75g at my freinds in a week so should i wait? he never bothers anything unless it goes under his rock

I don't think you'll have a problem with those two together.

ok jus makin sue my lfs said the'll be fine but they also said my zoas will eat flake food?? wtf so i dont listen to their tips

 

[saltwater king]

i have a engineer goby ond 10 yellow clown coral gobys they do fine together

 

[saltwater king]

ya zoaz do good on frozen brine

 

[valasaraptor]

baby brine right? thts what im feeding them and i turn the flow off too but its only off for 5-10min

 

[saltwater king]

ya they can eat little amounts of large brine by filter feeding to but baby brine is more affective

 

[valasaraptor]

ok thx,wow this site is sooooo much bettr than lfs info its almost always wrong

 

[saltwater king]

it is important to have minimal water flow until the brine reaches them then when they start eating turn it back on it should take about 3-4 minuets in a tank approximately 20 in tall

what would the yellow clown goby eat? frozen mysis,brine and mayb flake? do they prefer live? or will they take frozen?

You can also spot feed, I use a turkey baster to get the food directly to my corals

The Yellow Clown Goby's diet should consist of a variety of brine shrimp, frozen mysis shrimp, table shrimp, and frozen food preparations for carnivores.
Be careful if you're keeping SPS because they'll nip at the smaller polyps
