diamond goby (1 Viewer)

I am fairly new to this world. I purchased a ORA target mandarin. My question is can i put a diamond goby in the same tank? I have a 150 gal dt. with a 30 gal sump. The sump has a fuge in it with plenty of copepods?

If you've got an established sandbed, you'll be fine.

Watch it though, somehow mine got into my overflow, down the pipe and was doing work in my sump for a few days before I noticed it. Got him back up top. Later did some stuff in my sump, moved a sponge long ways so that water had to go thru it to get into sump. And the damn Diamond Goby did it again and got beat to death.,. Didn't think it would do it a second time. He was cool too.

Wow that was one talented fish! sorry for your loss, I think I'm going to get one this weekend. I really like they way they stir the sand. And my sand could really use him.

Make sure your rockwork is good and sturdy. Mine likes to burrow tunnels underneath my rocks. He starts a new one in the late afternoon and sleeps there for the night. In the morning, he fills it back in and works on the sand bed.

They can really dirty the tank too. His main spot, everything around it and up about 6 inches was covered in dust.

Mine too he has hills and valleys all over the place and if I do too much to his side of the tank-he moves and starts on the other he is very cool and a real character but he will rearrange your bottom aquascape daily!

Yea ours did the same thing before he decided to go carpet surfing. They can really shift the rocks around if they are not in there securly.
