new baby Goby

[Penny]

I was given a baby clown goby. It is very small, and pink. I never owned a Goby before, I have a 55 gal with LR and 1 clown that I've had for many years and a few turbo snails. Is there anything special I need for this tiny little thing? It's so tiny, It's a little intimidating.

Looks just like an ocellaris clown

Hey guys I'm pretty sure that is just the signature pic not a pic of the actual clown goby...

Besides, It's a Percula Clown, not an ocellaris.

Hi Penny, it looks a lot like an ocellaris, what is called the "False Percula"
Nice looking fish!

lol. Guys, the percula is her signature picture. XD

I've never heard of a clown goby before, but I'm pretty new to the hobby so I don't know much. Sounds interesting though.

-skitters off to go look the fish up-

Well, I just call her Clowny. Thanks, she's been in the family a long time.

I have a green clown goby and its a neat little fish, it likes to hang on it my large orange monti cap.

I read a lot that they tend to "disappear" for a while(dont worry, most often they re-appear) a fish that small can mostly live of the pods population in your tank(dont feed it a lot). But I've also heard great of them. hope you enjoy him

any pics?

 

[mmkeeper]

Mine is eating almost anything I feed to the big fish. Frozen or flake foods.

 

[Penny]

I will try to find him and take as pic. He is a baby, and hides quite well. Thanks!

That's a really pretty fish. I don't know what mine is..it was a gift, it's pale pink on it's head, and the rest is kind of clearish. All I know is it is a clown goby. I guess I'll have to wait until he gets a little older to identify it.
