bumblebee gobys

hi

Does anyone have any experience with bumble bee gobies at all ??

 

Yep why? Are you having problems? Well, yes I have if you're talking about Amblyeleotris wheeleri.

 

No, but he is a prawngoby like mine...check out my FOTM writeup for April

 

theres a guy near me who is giving them away !!!! so was wondering if they are going to be nice to my shrimp etc !!!!! or im in for trouble with them i have decora goby as well ....:-/

 

I'm not sure about the decora

I'd imagine if he is more peaceful and his burrow isnt in the center of the tank they'd be fine? How big is the tank BTW ?

 

35gallon i have 2 cbs, bta and heaps of rock the deal fel through but have found some else where

 

Has anyone ever got these guys to go to full salt??? if so what was the gravity?

 

the most ive been told and read it is between 1.005-1.010.
im glad that i researched a bit cause there are 2 types of bumblebee gobie, one is strictly fresh and the other is brackish ...Funny enough it was advertised as a marine fish ..check out this link

...I found them on a website under SW.....wow...thats horrible :/

 

That is where i keep mine from, around 1.005-1.010. I still don't know if mine is a Brachygobius nunus or Brachygobius xanthozona. I would like mine to transfer up to my full salt at around ~1.025. but no one has tried this???
