School of gobies?

[rickzter01]

Green banded goby. Very peaceful and have heard they can school, however, they eat pods and lots of them. Consider putting in a fuge before getting a school of them. I assume a school of three would surpass having a Mandarin in a tank.

I have a 20 gallon sump with a fuge but the ones at my LFS eat frozen foods as well.

Not necessarily.
I've bought Trimma Tevegae (stunning!) for around 30-40 bucks when they came around; generally late winter to early spring.
These aren't really high demand fish as they're more appropriate for small nano displays

Oh that's another pretty one. Spring you say?

So when it comes to a partially stocked 29 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump, how many gobies is too many? I am also planning on a possible Helfrichi firefish

They are small fish with a very tiny bioload. Mixing 20 or so trimma and eviota gobies would be fine in a 29g with room to spare.

They aren't seasonal, they may not be available every week, but they are available year-round.

When I get back from high school, my tank is going to be full of gobies because my dad LOVES them :) :p

I added 19 green-banded gobies to my 150g SPS tank a few years ago. Green-banded gobies are surprisingly hardy - they outlived all the other teeny gobies I added around the same time (Trimmas, masked, etc.) Great fish. They hop all around the rockwork and are interesting. They bicker and squabble a little bit sometimes, but I haven't seen anything very brutal. Usually one will just move its perch.

I have kept 3 yellow clown Gobies but my understanding is that more than one green goby will fight unless mated in a small tank. I always just kept one.
