September 21, 200521 yr comment_66545 Fire Goby (Nemateleotris magnifica) in a 10g tank?? with 4.5Kg LR, 10Kg LS, heated to 26 Degrees Celsius, SG of 1.022 and a few various shrooms, hermits, 2 oscellaris clowns... what do ppl think? i already have the clowns, and i know it would be bordering on overstocking... but would a fire goby have any probs being in a 10g? they dont seem from what i have read/seen to be a fish that needs huge space to "run" around in.... i am able to feed it with both flakes and live brine shrimp, and the tank id hooded so risk of jumping isnt a prob. cheers...

September 21, 200521 yr comment_66546 Fire Goby will probably be OK, but in an area that small he may become a victim to aggression from the clowns when they get territorial. What type of clowns are they? They may find it a tad cramped as they grow. Report
September 21, 200521 yr comment_66548 Just re-read, they are ocellaris. Been reading about a commercial clownfish breeding operation in the States, they have their breeding pairs in 20 gallon tanks, which they consider minimum size for this. Report
September 22, 200521 yr comment_66559 i cant offer any advice on this but i will say good on ya, the best thing you did was actually ask before jumping in and buying one! save your pocket and potentially the life of a lil fishy Report
