Hey guys! I had a scooter dragonet for a few months which was doing well. It had started putting on noticeable weight and was eating prepared frozen foods.

It was quarantined with a bullet goby and they were always fine together. A few weeks ago the bullet goby started attacking the dragonet just nibbling it’s fins. But it stopped so I though ah good it’s iver. This week I watched in horror as the bullet goby tore the fins off my scooter blenny which then developed an infection and died a few hours ago.

Going forward do you guys have any advice on what fish I CANT keep with the bullet goby? How do I work out what’s not compatible with it?

Current habitants in my 110G are a sailfin tang, 2 clowns, a chromis and soon to be added a foxface Lo once it’s out of quarantine. The bullet goby doesn’t bother the other fish. The chromis it ignores and the clowns and tang actually chase it occasionally haha but no damage. (Yup im aware I can’t keep the sailfin tang in that once it gets bigger)
 
Probably because the scooter is at the same level as the goby. The others are more open area swimmers while gobies and blennies tend to stay with rockwork and sand. Goby just doesn’t want to share.
 
Ahh ok thank you
Is my tank too small for the bullet goby?
