What gobies can go in 10 gal besides clown goby?

Most local fish stores will order specific fish for you. Even Petco will order saltwater fish you want

ye probably, but my eyes are on a black clown goby and a clownfish mainly lol (which petco does have)

I do recommend being careful with the term “Black Clown Goby” I have a feeling you don’t always end up with a pure G. strangulatus and have a chance on getting a different species of Clown goby that can be thrown under the common name. I have however found no matter which species, they’re all the same in care and size. G. citrinis is a strange species of clown goby though because it gets larger than the common yellow, black, brown/red ect..

oh ok, but I dont need a pure, as long as it's black, and not large.

Yeah, Citrons are large but obvious due to them being often confused with G. okinawae (Yellows). Mine is what I suspect to be a G. unicolour and at certain angles has a strange see-through line. But at most angles it’s ash black so it is truly strange.

oh. petco does say that their black clown gobies grow to ~2 inches, but im kinda skeptical

I vote for citron goby, they are pretty large, showy, but not to active so could be kept in a smaller tank.

I have one and he is very personable too, eats food right out of my hand.

Oh, and I do also have him w/ a clonwfish, they are legit freinds.

Just looked at the listing, and they do look the exact same ( mine is quite a bit darker but that is simply species variation ) however I would want other people to confirm too, don't just take my word for it.

i just checked the description of the goby and It said: "The Citron Clown
is a light-yellow color with light blue horizontal lines by their fins."

 

[i cant think]

Yeah, citrons and lemons are the same fish, both go under the common name of G. citrinis

 

[AnotherReefHobbyist]

If you wanted to make sure that the goby can settle in withought any aggression, you could move some of the scape around to mess up the clowns territory, just a precaution f you wanted.

my only concern is the price, so if I go there and they dont have it, Ill get another clownfish instead.

 

[Unitylover]

also a friend told me baggani cardinals can go in a 10 gal, I doubt it, but I wonder lol
