I currently have a pair of neon gobies in my 66gal cube. They really did not have any aggression and seemed to pair up nicely. I absolutely love these guys, I love seeing them on the rocks, I love seeing them swim around.
I stumbled across this article:
http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2003/5/breeder
Which seems to suggest that if kept in a large enough group, aggression towards themselves may be mitigated. What do you guys think about adding an additional 4 or 6 gobies? Too risky? Has anyone else attempted such a thing, and if so what was your experiences? Do you think the number of 6 to 8 still makes sense for a 66 gal aquarium? I know harems need to be kind of dense, and honestly I think it would be kind of cool to have a total of 8.
Fish load in general is low, other fish are two clown fishes, and a fire fish. Clown fishes are paired up, but also tank breed and don't seem to be aggressive at all. So far my two gobies are also ORA, and if I get more they also will be ORA.
