yellow clown goby

thinking about getting one.

jus a couple questions first

Are they hard to get to eat and do they jump?

fine with royal gramma, 2 clowns and a chalk bass?

 

I have heard clown gobys are hard to get eating. It might have problems with the other fish since they are established and are also more active than the goby.

 

I had no luck. wast of money if you ask me. i had several and they didnt last long. They will get along good with your other fish. I had the same.

 

I have a yellow clown goby. Seriously one of my favorite fish. He hangs out on my hand when I am trying to clean my tank.

 

Clown gobies can really vary. I have a yellow clown goby. He is very personable, eats well and is not skiddish at all. He is always out swimming around. I love him!! I have a green clown goby who I never see and I have no idea if he is eating or not. So...they can really vary.

And yes, they are jumpers. Though I don't know how common it is, but gobies do jump.

 

Yellow clowns eat all you sps lol. Well they have a known rep for snacking to death acros and the like

 

I think that's a false rumor... they hang out in acros... but I don't think they eat them... my YCG lives in my acros and has never nipped at them as far as I can tell... my guess is that anyone who would blame one of these fish for eating an acro probably didn't know what was really killing the corals.

 

That's correct. They are also called coral gobies because they hang out in acros. They do not eat them.

 

if you value your acros do not get one... they always perch on them and cause polyp extension to be much less. they also lay eggs on the underside of acros and kill tissue.
I have had much success in them eating cyclopeeze.
They dont jump, are a little shy at first, and a verry nice peaceful tempered fish.

 

I like my yellow clown. It hangs out in a few of my corals including on top of my 5 inch Fungia. Doesnt seem to annoy any of the corals really but it also doesnt stay on one perch for more than a minute or two.
