Cling fish

[Morganeb98]

Can clingfish be kept in a 30gal aquarium

If you had the right conditions and dietary requirements, probably.

Are they mainly invertebrate eaters? I've been trying to find information on them

I have one in my 32 gallon for a year now, its a neat little fish. It leaves the other fish alone, they all leave it alone, and it hasn't bothered any inverts or corals. It's been a model citizen, it just clings to the back glass all day, it eats whatever I feed the tank.

I have one each in a 30g and 45g that have learned to take flake food.

There are many species of clingfish.
Really only two species are common in the hobby, Diademichthys lineatus and Gobiesox punctulatus. The later is a very easy species to maintain and will readily adapt to aquariums, while the former is a very specialized animal with regard to habit and feeding.

We catch the stippled clingfish here in NC in brackish water oyster beds...
