Fun fish?

Herbie! I really want one of those. Totally forgot to list it.

 

Gobys

Thanks everyone! we've checked all the fish pics (a few times each and gobies are still the favorites, yellow and green. So here is another questions, is it possible to build up the sand/gravel level in the tank with fish, corals already in it? Or is it a must to take them all out first?

 

I absolutely loved my YWG. Tailspot blennies are pretty fun too. They're such characters!

 

how about a clown goby? they're nice.

 

Rinse the gravel very well, then gently pour it out on the bottom of the tank. You can use a small container or plastic bag. I do a small amount at a time if its not cycled. The last few bags of Carib Sea that I used had a lot of fine organics.

 

The Green Clown Gobys are fun, I have two in my 55. They seem to have claimed separate sides of the tank. They hang in all the crevices of the liverock, and I've even seen them perch on the glass once and a while. They are colorful little guys, but stay hidden (by virtue of their small size alone) until feeding time when they dart around the tank catching falling food.

They are brave little guys that hold their ground...

Here is a Mexican Stand Off between one of my Green Clown Gobys and my (shrimp pair) Striped Yellow Goby, with a feather duster in the pic as well

 

Only get 1 clown gong because they are cannibalistic and aggressive to each other..

 

In a small tank yes, in the OP's 20g, I would agree with you 1 is good.

In a bigger tank you can get away with more. like I said the two in my 55 have claimed seperate halfs of the tank.

They are also sexually dimorphic. They are all female until no male is present then the dominant one switches genders to Male...

That said, if you do have the tank size, 2 may not be a bad idea, might get a pair going...

 

I haven't been here in a while and have been dying to share with everyone that we ended up getting a bi-color blenny. I had no idea fish could be so funny, we love him and I'll share some pictures soon. For those, who feel quiet lost running into issues with this "hobby" and is reading this post, it turns out the most likely reason for my clown fish' subdued (boring?) behavior was that I was overfeeding them. Having taken a few years off, I forgot how much to feed those guys and was serving them breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. And those guys do like to eat, but afterwards were probably too full to even swim around. I now feed them daily and they are a lot more active, though still not very advernturous. Maybe one day..
