x matt x Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Bumble bee gobys are great little fish, They are brackish water fish (but some people kept them in freshwater). I feed them bloodworms, whiteworms, brine shrimp and daphnia, mine dont like flake food. A tank with lots of rocks and plants is a good idea so individuals can establish territories, sometimes they fight over food (very funny to see 2 bumblebee's play tagawar with a worm) If you want to try breeding them (not very easy) put 6 or more in a tank with the salinity around 1.010-1.015 wait about a week then add freshwater (lowering the salinity sometimes triggers spawning). When ready to breed the females will have a fuller body and the males black bars may fad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim&Dan Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Cool x matt x! Is that an acrylic tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x matt x Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I dont know if they are acrylic or not (some type of plastic). I brought several from the warehouse for about $15 each (To cheap to be acrylic i think). They are very handy little tanks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kookie Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Went to wonderland aquarium in Rotorua yesterday on my way home and I was totally blown away by the rows and rows of tanks. In one of those tanks was heaps of bubba BBG's. I wish Wellington had an aquarium like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
