Twin Spot Goby Experiences (difficulty?)

[Fatmike92]

what is everyone’s experience with twin spot goby? Are they difficult to keep? Do they need anything special?

looking to get a pair for my 90g corner that has a deep sand bed.

It's the feeding that makes them finicky. They are strictly sand feeders and are carnivores, so they need a healthy population of copepods (aka established tanks), you can target feed them a bit too but they are small and sometimes hard to spot feed. I would think in that large of a tank, and if it's been somewhat established, you'll have little to no issues though.

thanks!

Unfortunately it’s a newer tank. Ill have to help out the pod population a little I guess and add some in.

big system, just stay on top of it. I used to hide pellets in front of my goby's burrow when I was concerned about feeding a sifter. Just sprinkle and swizzle stick it a bit. They'll find it.
