They look fantastic!! Fat and happy too haha :DSince I started the hobby in 2014, shortly after setting up my IM Fusion 10 I saw another nano tank owner that had greenbanded gobies. These guys have been exceedingly rare up in Canada, to the point I tried sourcing them myself then found out ORA stopped breeding them, nothing for a long time available. Fast forward and I finally found some in May 2018.
I considered them my bucket list fish, and they're just a small nano goby :) I haven't seen them available up here since.
I got four in, three made it to the DT, those two paired off and I don't know what happened to the third wheel :(. Might have just been age, it was visibly larger than the others by quite a bit, and I know they only live a couple years~ish.
Yep!
I wanted something to share a tank with my catsharks for a while but could not find anything interesting that could live at 55 degrees until I came across this pair. The female can be seen in the lower image above the shark and below the starfish. Fifty-five is a little cold for them, but they acclimated well. Probably the only pairing of ornates and chain cats world-wide, but it works.
It was me giving into my wife. He's been doing insanely well. Ears like a pig, super personable no one messes with him.
Beautiful fish. Most suggest cant survive in captive environment. How’s he doing and whats your secret?
