Transparent cave goby

[Fishbird]

Does anybody have any experience with ORA’s Transparent Cave Goby? I’m leaning towards getting one. I’d eventually like to have two or three fish (including this one). Another one that’s high on my list is the Rainford Goby. Are the transparent cave gobies confident but peaceful? Do they get aggressive as they age?

My transparent cave goby isn't aggressive but he's the boss hog of gobies in my tank. He can get a little pushy when it comes to getting food but no harm no foul. Pretty cool fish and it's funny watching him leap up and snag food or relocate to the other side of the tank.

Mine is a cool little guy.

This is all great to hear! Thanks! I found a brief write-up by Reef Builders but everything else I’ve found is from stores selling the fish. I’m glad some people are enjoying them in their home tanks!

I had one for 5-6 years and it was always a peaceful species that did well with its tankmates. It was out most of the time but sometimes you really had to look for it only to discover it was right in front of your face. I wouldn't hesitate to get another.

There's one in my area from a reefer available. Can someone let me know what they eat?

Pretty much anything. That big mouth goes flying out like cookie monster eating cookies. I would often feed mine sinking pellets.
