Yellow Watchman Goby

Can 2 share a 13 gallon reef tank with lots of hiding places?

if its a bonded pair, I think they would be ok. If you can consider adding a pistol shrimp with them. Very cool relationship.

It's possible, what else are you adding to the tank? It really will depend on if you plan on adding other fish. That small water column can only sustain a certain amount of bioload.

If you're concerned about aggression, just get a big one and a small one. They can change their genders like clownfish. If it's bioload you're worried about, you'll probably be fine.

I have a pistol shrimp in the 13 gallon. So I had originally bought yellow goby and pistol shrimp put them in the tank pistol shrimp found a spot where he likes the goby disappeared. I searched everywhere. I was told to wait that they can hide and I should be patient. I waited for months saw nothing of him. Somebody gave me another yellow goby they were getting rid of and he did well. But he did not bond with the pistol shrimp. yesterday I found the original a dang yellow goby! One is quite large and the other one is small. So hopefully they will be okay together in the small tank. I have a 75 gallon as well but the arc eye in there is mean and I think it bullies some of the smaller fish until they basically just go into hiding and starve.

Sounds like you'll be fine then!

Find a shrimp of the Alpheus genus if you can. I’m definitely getting a Tiger Pistol for mine.
