Razor Goby

[Fishfreak2009]

Anyone here keep one of these? I picked one up today at my LFS. Seen photos online and in magazines, but never seen one in person before today.

Already eating mysis after being added to the quarantine. Don't mind the cloudiness, just did a major water change before adding the new fish.

never seen one but that looks cool already
i’m sure it’ll color up great after it’s settled in the display

Here are a couple pics from today. So far it doesn't try to hide at all. Swimming around and eating really well. Reminds me of a mini oarfish.

Yep had one for quite a while till my tank sitter forgot to close the lid. Very similar to tilefish in terms of behavior

Ironically I called them mini oarfish too!

@Fishfreak2009 Do you still have the razor goby? How well did it do in your tank? My LFS has a few in stock right now, so I don't know if I should grab one and hopefully get it to buddy up with my two tiles.

Mine is gone unfortunately. Did fine until a power outage wiped out most of the fish.

Oh no! I'm very sorry, that's heartbreaking. It looked like a really fun fish.

I just placed an order for two. LFS told me the second one isn't eating and is getting thinner, but I'll try to nurse it back to life. I only wanted one, but figured it had a better chance if they stayed together, since they only have two in stock. May find it a good home later if both make it.
