I have a tank that I'm trying stock with small fun stuff like sexy shrimp and clown gobies. The only ones that I can find locally are the green and yellow ones. I've seen pics online of a bunch of different varieties like tomahawk clown gobies, black and white striped ones, naked clown gobies, masked clown gobies etc. If anybody knows where to get some of the rarer species please let me know.
Thanks

Any ideas on where to get clown gobies besides the main 3 at fish store (yellow, green and citron).

Definitely speak to some of the suppliers mentioned. Reefwise has a great source for some bizarre stuff, so definitely ask.

You're right, sorry! I mistakenly took the panda as a clown goby but it is t at all.

have you tried asking ur lfs if they could get rarer gobies. When I want something I can't find on live aquaria I have my lfs find it. Might take a few weeks but I get what I want.

I've tried all 4 lfs in town. The one that claims to be best at getting rare fish told me they don't even exist.
