Tailspot blenny

Very cool! I have a 90 gallon peaceful community reef tank which also has a 4 inch diamond goby, and a very small 2" yellow watchman goby. Do you know if the tailspot blenny would work with those other 2 I have?

I have a yellow watchman goby in my tank and so far no problems. @kevgib67 you have a diamond goby with your tailspot right?

Funny thing my Diamond is who digs, and maintains the burrow, but the watchman lives in it with him. Kind of cute really.

You would be correct my friend. No issues whatsoever.

Wow that's cool, I thought they were only paired with shrimp, my goby paired with a tiger pistol shrimp

I bought a Randall's pistol shrimp for the watchman, but the day it arrived, I could see that it had molted during shipping. So when I put it in the tank, it did immediately go into hiding, bu I have not seen it since, so I suspect he may have been a rather expensive snack for one of my larger fish. I hope not, but I not seen or heard him since I put him in the tank.

What I did with the goby and the pistol shrimp was that I put them in an acclimatization box until they were paired and then I released them into the tank and they immediately made their cave and from there they do not separate, they even hide in the cave for 2 or 3 days lol

I hope you make it, mine were already paired after the first night, anyway I left them for 1 more day to be sure.

What type of pistol is that?

 

[Mr_Knightley]

Any and all dartfish species, but especially the scissortail dart, Ptereleotris evides. They have been incredibly hard to find lately, otherwise I'd have a whole school of them in my display!

There's just something special about their elegant coloration that makes them really stand out amongst the dartfish.

Smiling Tiger Gobies would be our fav.

 

[Skywater]

I miss my small percula clownfish that lived for 19 1/2 years. Currently I keep the macrodon tiger gobies and maked gobies. All very tiny fish...with huge personalities.

 

[Cichlid Dad]

Bicolor blenny… tons of personality and funny to watch!

I second the bi color, I love mine
Very chill
