Hi! So im considering some green banded gobies for my nano and was wondering if you could keep them in groups? I've heard both yes and no's so does anyone have any experience with them like this?
Also, I've read that they're hermaphroditic i believe? So if I got 2, the dominant one would turn male so I could just get a guaranteed pair?
 
I've seen a tank that held at least three or four of them, and had been doing so for some time - don't know whether any of them had paired off, or what their social interactions were.

I have _one_ ... in a 220.

I've seen it once since I put it in there, but gosh ... they sure are an adorable little fish!

They sure are! I'm thinking about keeping 2 in a 7gal so hopefully they'll be available after Christmas since I learned my lesson on why you shouldn't order fish during Christmas shopping sadly. I also did find out that if you have 2, they will change sexes so you're guaranteed a pair
