Other gobies with a yellow watchman?

[jp1986]

I have a yellow watchman goby in my IM 150 lagoon. She's been in there for almost a year now. Curious if there are any other gobies that could potentially coexist with her in the same tank. There is plenty of rock and hiding places. Was looking at the pink bar goby but wasn't sure if it would work out.

yes, I wouldn't add another watchman or similar though.

You can have most from these genera:
Gobiodon,
Koumansetta,
Signigobius (More research is required for these),
Discordipinna (Not recommended… these are tiny and can get lost in large tanks),
Elecantinus,
Eviota,
Trimma,
Priolepis,
Paragobiodon (Same with Signigobius),
Nemateleotris,
Coryphopterus.

Domt go for any like:
Tryssogobius
Stonogobiops
Valenciennea
Amblyleotris
Vanderhostia

The reason why is these are similar in behaviour, body and areas they hang in as the watchman. Also Valenciennea needs a good established, 5-6 inch deep substrate to thrive or else they will wither away. They will not thrive off of frozen/prepared foods long term unless fed 4-5 times EVERY day.

I have a female YMG paired with a tiger pistol in my tank. (They own the main reef). I added a pink spotted prawn goby and it is doing fine owning one of the isolated rocks. :)

There might be a small male YWG in the tank too, but have not seen him for months. He was rejected by the female.
