What gobies can go in 10 gal besides clown goby?

 

[SlugSnorter]

sadly, my local petco doesnt have them, but here is my possible fish list: royal gramma(prob wont because they will prob murder my clown), black or yellow or citron clown goby, maybe a green banded goby, maybe a firefish, and a second clown

do not get from petco unless you have a good QT. Maybe get something from TSM or Dr Reef

why would you get one for it then? even the "easier" sand sifting stars will starve pretty fast in a tank that small. Maybe consider some naccarius or cerith snails to stir the sand-bed

not sand sifters, Im getting micro brittle starfish, they grow to the size of a quarter or two

I think they are all pairs. I have never had two of them that didn't spawn. I think they can change to whatever they want to be.

no, not at all.

Main Female > Main Male > Lesser Males

Female dies or there is no female the main male becomes female forever, there is no going back

oh, they should be okay. Sometimes they are just a mislabeled juvenile of some larger species so just keep an eye on them. you should still get some sand sifting animals though, Naccarius and Ceirths are good as they make for great CUC and do not deplete microfauna in the sand

Ill get my starfish from TSM or something, as no LFS or pet store near me has them

YWG need more than 10 gals

I’ve heard of them in that size before, but yeah I can see that not being a good fit in the long run. Saw a big one at the lfs and was shocked!

Just curious, where do you get those? I’ve only ever heard of micro brittle stars as hitchhikers.

@TnFishwater98 has some, and maybe on some online stores

careful with petco, you can get some nasty stuff if you do not QT

I know, I try to pick the least populated fish with the healthiest looking fish

doesn't mean they are safe, QT fish or you can pay the price. I got lazy and didn't QT, then brook nuked the tank after a week of no symptoms

I understand this sounds a bit harsh, but its better to learn now instead of from a very stressful mishap.

Yep…
Got an ich brook velvet cocktail. None looked bad when I picked them up, but when all tanks are on one system, they all get sick.
