Gill Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 So I am super sad to have to do this (sad)(sad)(sad) These guys are some of my favorite tank inhabitants but as of late my tank has become way to aggressive for them. They goby I have had for over two years and he is super healthy. The pistol shrimp was added a little over a year ago. I would like them to find a less agressive tank basically NO DAMSELS they pick on him way to much even yellow tails (sad)(sad)(sad) Asking 40$ for the pair or maybe a trade for a more aggressive fish but no frags please I am not having the best luck with corals as of late. Although if you have something bullet proof like a toadstool let me know thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 If he was a sand sifter, I'd probably take you up on that offer Gill LOL Let me talk to the gf when she gets home tonight an see what she has to say about it, I've learned over the last few years it's better to ask her beforehand than try an explain to her later LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Strange my blue damsel doesn't bother my 2 gobies. I'll take them if Mick doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc82 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Ah man, I've been looking for a pair too. What kind of goby is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Ah man' date=' I've been looking for a pair too. What kind of goby is that?[/quote'] It is a hi fin banded goby or yellow headed goby depends on who you ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Strange my blue damsel doesn't bother my 2 gobies. I'll take them if Mick doesn't. Ya it depends on the type of goby. I also have a banded prawn goby and the damsels don't bother him. I am sure a yellow watchmen would not get pushed around either, but this guy is one of the smaller more peaceful species a lot like a yasha. I will let you know what mick says. Hopefully I will be able to get them both with ease. There burrow is under a medium sized rock and large shell so with a little luck it should be a breeze... but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Thats the best part they keep my DSB from getting dead spots. The trick is to put the rock down first then pour the sand in, otherwise everything comes down.

Gill Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Nice pic I would take them but I all ready have them in my tank & I don't know if you could have 2 of the same in your tank I have two pairs in my tank. They do really well together. My pistol shrimp are both tigers though I would probably not put a candy cane in with them for fear of it getting eaten. I have avoided aggressive shrimp gobys though, from what I have read your standard watchmen will not tolerate another shrimp goby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee77 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I want one but I think my diamond goby may eat him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 I want one but I think my diamond goby may eat him I had a diamond goby in with mine and they all did well together. I have a big enough sand bed for everyone to have there own turf though. I even have an engineer goby in there LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee77 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Oh I have enough sand but I added a purple war spot goby that was bigger than my diamond and te diamond would pick on him and then the war goby went carpet Surfing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Oh I have enough sand but I added a purple war spot goby that was bigger than my diamond and te diamond would pick on him and then the war goby went carpet Surfing Ya my diamond found the same fate. (sad) I did add my shrimp gobys before the diamond goby, so that probably contributed to my success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Here was my old pair. I had them for about 2 years then they went MIA. I expect it was a cave excavation accident. Awesome Robert....do you have your big tank installed yet? I want to come see it when it is and the anemones and fish are all installed in their new home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
