I love this fish!
Ok, maybe it's silly to be so excited about a fish that's as long as my thumbnail, but I love my new green clown goby! When my boss saw him, she said "that's not a fish, that's a jujubee!" LOL, he's just about the color of green jujubee but he has red "racing stripes." (Do they still make those filling-pulling jujubee's??)
He was so tiny that I was worried about his survival in my nano but he's eating like a little piglet now and has been in the tank almost a week  I love the way he perches on things and I'm hoping that he'll take up residence in the branches of the big Capnella in the center of the tank.

Hi Alice!! I had about 5 of those same little gobies with the red racing strips(cute)in my 72 gallon tank. They were fun to watch and would chase each other around in the rocks and hide in the algae.

This sounds like just the fish I've been looking for... something small, interesting and something I can have more than one of. Does anyone sell them online ?

Neat fish, Alice!
Is this yours? (Gobiodon histrio)
Kinesthesia,
I have a couple of Neon Gobies, (Gobiosoma oceanops) that are really neat fish. They hang out on the rocks but also zip around the tank...flashy little guys!

Hi Alice, Yes, you can still buy jujubees. They have them at www.candywarehouse.com/juj75bag.html
Notice: they are not reef safe. vbg

What's a jujubee?
Just kidding  I'm like you wild woman, I like the little stuff best. What's he eating? Little gobies are my favorites too.

Jerel, I plan to have quite a few small fish in my 125...that's more fun than just a couple large ones. The goby's eating brine, flake and some Formula cube. I had a Citron goby once (until a heater disaster) who took a little while to get started but then was never fussy about foodstuffs.
Yes, Dick, that's him! I didn't give his proper name because I couldn't for the life of me remember it
LOL Homer; point on the jujubees well taken!
