yellow clown goby

[spongebob lover]

Hey doods, i really like this fish but i was wondering if it'll be ok to have one in my tank.

it's a 37 gal tank, powerheads ( if that matters ) 1 red monti cap, 1 red open brain, 1 LTA , 1 ocellaris, 1 yellow tail damsel , 1 six line wrasse, some green, blue and pink with green tips mushrooms.

i was reading that they are carnivorous but not sure what kind of meat they eat , would it be ok to feed them frozen formula (red kind)? or what am i suppose to feed?
Would it be bother by the six line or any of my fishes?

i really like those fishes just like the clown goby citrinis .

Look here Gaggs...They have a general compatibilty chart there a little ways down the page about who goes well with the gobies. Not sure if that helps you, but hopefully

Gobiodon okinawae is one of those fish that can do well in various settings except nano's. They are relatively unassuming and will rarely be harassed by tank mates, even much larger than itself in many cases. That is, providing there is sufficient hiding places and tank mates are not aggressive fish predators. Due to the morsel size of foods needing to be very small, I have found the larger the tank, the better this goby will thrive as long as there is LR. They can sometimes be a challenge to feed due to their small size and food competition with boisterous tank mates. You also have to watch the stony corals with this one. They tend to "shimmy" along the skelaton which can cause bleaching/bald spots. The red brain is no concern but the monti cap could become easily damaged.

Gobiodon citrinis on the otherhad would make a much easier addition. Easier to feed, not as likely to damage corals, just as unassuming with tank mates.

Who makes the formula food you have and what variety is it?

well the frozen formula 1 is made by Ocean nutricion but other than that... me doesn't know.
hmm i guess in that case cinitris would be the one, since i seriously care to much about my monti .

Formula 1 is fine but I would also use Prime Reef in addition for the types of fish you have. They make these in smaller lacks now so you can mix the food types much easier.

Do you use and vitamin and HUFA additive as well?
