Wonderful reef safe fish!
| Comments |
You can't go wrong with this timid, beautiful fish. Very easy to care for and hardy. Great for smaller systems as they are peaceful and grow no larger than 1-1.5". They will eat just about anything, though best to offer frozen or brine shrimp during acclimation to stimulate feeding. With mine it was a little too shy at first to feed with the other fish. For a week I had to target feed him until he grew more bold. Safe in smaller systems, though avoid pairs as they will attack each other in small quarters.

Beautiful fish with a great personality. Likes to perch on LR and corals and polyps which adds diversity in your tank. Small fish, small bio load.

This fish can be shy at first. IME, you may have trouble getting him to feed especially if you have bullies or bold fish in the system.

Beautiful fish but I would pass if I had to do it
| Comments |
Getting them to eat was my biggest problem. In fact it never ate anything I offered it. This is probably one of the least aggressive fish I have ever seen. This fish is not very active at all. He would perch on the rock with my mushrooms and scout the tank all day. Mine was in a 12g aquapod and the size of the fish is pretty small so I think it would make a excellent nano tank dweller.

-Gorgeous fish, vibrant yellow
-I liked the fact that it was not aggressive at all
-Fun to watch when it would hide behind stuff, swim backwards and shoot from rock to rock
|
| Didn't like |
-Feeding, maybe it was just mine but I have heard and read many people say they can be a pain when it comes to feeding

Good for smaller tanks, but may nip at polyps
| Comments |
This is a low-maintenance fish that is fun to watch. Beware that it's a small fish and spends lots of time perching on rocks/corals/etc. So, it's best for small tanks where it will not easily be lost. It's important to note that clown gobies sometimes nip at polyps--I had a friend who had to get rid of a yellow clown goby because it was eating sps polyps in his tank.
