I read a lot about people wanting to know if two of the same clown goby species can coexist, but what about two different species? (Black, and green clown gobies specifically)
 
I have 3 clown gobies (yellow, green, and black) in my 15 gallon, they've been together for 2 years , never had any issue.
I was considering a citron and a green clown goby in my fluval 13.5...someone on Facebook mentioned that greens were more difficult to keep as they are picky eaters...has that been your experience? Everything I've read or seen on YouTube seems to day the opposite

Haven't gotten a green clown yet, but I have a citron clown that eats everything I put in there. So frozen mysis shrimp and brine shrimp.

All three of them (green, black and yellow) are pigs. And they beg. They will eat anything. I feed them 3-4 times a day.

A new fish might be picky, so frozen copepods or newly hatched brine shrimp will get them eating, once they start eating they will eat anything.

I love my yellow clown goby. It’s like the perfect fish. It’s a great balance between hopping from coral to coral to swimming front and center in the water column. But also it’s confident but not a jerk to its tankmates. And the bioload is almost non-existent with this fish. If only it ate algae it would be the GOAT of all nano fish.

Are they jumpers? My other concern is clown goby bothering sps?
