Tiger goby

[Colin]

So I went to the LFS and saw a Tiger goby {wardi}. Ive read conflicting reviews on them mainly the tank size. I have a 30 gallon tank and have read they are good in them then read that they need bigger tanks. Could my tank size be ok for one?

That was from LiveAquaria. Cool looking fish. Congrats. Some one with more knowledge will be able to answer your question.

+1 everyone Beautiful goby...you might have to chop him up and split them amongst us :shock:

:mrgreen:

ha ha so what im hearing is that I should get him just so no one else can.

I kept one in my 30 for close to 6 months before he went carpet surfing.
But they will deplete the live foods in the sand bed with in a couple of days in a small tank.But I think that as long as he's getting what he needs from regular feedings of frozen foods,then he'll fine in a 30.

BTW
I get its eyes.:mrgreen:

 

[Colin]

Thats it im getting him. I hope he didnt get sold already im keeping the fin with the black spot on it though.

 

[ltljoker]

I only want his lucky tailfin:bounce:

 

[wontonflip]

I think we should not chop him up. That's just cruel. He should swim FREE!






Did I win the fish for being compassionate? :mrgreen:

I've tried two of them myself. Neither acclimated well and only lasted 1 day for the first one and 3 days for the second one. Dunno what it was, but neither survived. Too bad. Was a pretty cool looking fish.

Really cool looking fish! My tank is too small so I am out of the running for the fish but maybe you should put it in a round fish bowl, and all stand around the bowl and call the fish and whoever he swims towards gets him!

 

[Colin]

No you didnt win wonton cause you dont want what the great good does. Where did you get yours from Andysgirl8800. If its aquamart then i might rethink him. But probably not. Hes too cool looking not to try.If I buy him he better swim to me if not im chopping him up and splitting him amoung the masses.
