Catilina Goby?

[Stew18]

Does anyone have any personal experience with them? Will they get along with a diamond goby?

Thanks

I thought they were a temperate species that didn't live long in a tropical tank?

They are supposed to be a cooler water goby. That being said I had one well over a year in a reef tank that was 80F. It was one of my first fish in the reef hobby and I was I'll informed by the LFS. I lost him in a bad velvet or ich outbreak, lost the while tank.

SMITE - was it a free swimmer or did it hide all the time?

 

[Smite]

A percher. Hung out by the coral, did some free swimming but mostly just for feedings.


If you have a reef, Id just got with a neon goby of some kind. Act similar but least they clean tank mates. I enjoy watching symbiotic relationships like that in the tank.

They are a cool temperature species.

They come from waters in the 60's. Higher temps significantly shorten their lives. They are peaceful, social, always visible, but not very active.

You thought right!
