    I just put a diamond goby in my tank I love watching these guys scooping up the substrate then watching them "process" it leaving the divet in the sand.

    Can I add a golden head goby as well, my LFS are telling me they will fight to the death, but I have seen 2 of more gobies in loads of tanks (always been different gobies though)

    My DT is 350 Gallons, I understand that some fish are territorial, do I have enough territory to support peaceful relations between 2 gobies ?

    In a 350 gallon tank I would be tempted to try it.

    No the tank is far too small. You need a big established sand bed and a lot of room for territories.
