I have an relatively enormous engineer goby in my 40 gallon tank.
He didn't start big. I got it (probably a her) as a 1" "neon goby" as a bonus fish in a fish order.
I used to have a blue neon goby and a starry blenny. The blue died overnight, then a month later the starry started to swim erratically and then also died.
There was never any aggression from the engineer goby that I saw. She had her hole and other than a continuous argument with me over whether or not we should have a bare bottom tank she seemed quite mellow. I have a newer tank (8 mo) and fish can die for various reasons.. but it has been discouraging to have two die like that when I only had three fish and a shrimp.
I want to replenish the fish, one fish and a shrimp is a bit dull even in a small tank, but hesitate because of how big my goby got. Should I be worried?
I would love to get a wrasse, or another blenny, or even a couple more neon gobies. No clownfish. Cute but don't need a bitey fish in a small tank.
Thanks
