I have a total of 6-7 gobies (Two are MIA currently). Here’s some photos of the group :)
Most recent to my oldest;
Cryptocentrus cinctus & Alpheus bellulus (Currently MIA as they were only introduced to my 4’ three days ago)

Trimma tevegae pair

Discordipinna griessingeri (Was thought to be MIA but showed up two nights ago)

Koumansetta hectori (this guy is also MIA and hasn’t been spotted in a while)

Gobiodon acicularis

Stonogobiops yasha (This is my oldest by 2 years and 4 months).

The Yellow Watchman is the only one that is in my 4’ the rest of them are in my RS max nano with 3 other fish.

Wow! What species is in the last photo?

Gobies always scare me a little the idea of not knowing if you still own the fish or if you should get another goby.

It’s a Stonogobiops yasha, the Yasha Goby and surprisingly I believe it’s outlasting the average lifespan (Many last 2 years in captivity with only a couple getting around 3 years). It’s like my griessinger Goby, I believe they only last a year and he’s a year and a month old to my knowledge.

Totally agree! I was cautious when adding my Black Clown Gony around November but once you add your second you begin to get an idea of what temperament your current one is and whether you can add it or not.

I think when I choose a favorite goby I will get one!

I think they’re a necessity! Fit for all tank sizes, even small 5 gallons :)
I’m actually surprised I didn’t get a goby for my 4’ until this previous weekend.
