Has anyone kept a pair? I’m considering two yellow clown gobies in a 6 gallon. I know the tank would be able to handle their small bio load, but I don’t know whether one goby will end up stressing out the other till it dies.

I have a much larger tank, 235g, however I kept a pair of Citrons and with all the space available to them they chose to stick together in a small spot of the tank. They were bought and introduced separately as well. I actually ended up with a male and female that eventually spawned fairly frequently.

As long as you have a back up plan in case they don’t get along personally I wouldn’t be afraid to try them in your tank.

try to figure out the difference between male and female, one of each might have a better chance than 2 of the same, if it makes a difference IDK

Yeah they’re hermaphrodites and the dominant will turn into a male. I just didn’t know if 6 gallons is too small of a space while they’re pairing up

I normally keep 2 of them. As was said, one will become a male. They spawn constantly on acropora and kill it with their eggs. You can see her eggs above her here.



Here is a newborn gobi.

Omg it’s tiny! Do you think they keep acros? I wasn’t planning on keeping any

They do not need acros.

Mine liked to perch on top of different LPS in my tank and the female deposited her eggs right on the glass
