African Gobies! anyone?

voltronek · 10-31-2005, 09:48 PM

10 gallon tank
2 fishes

I was at my lfs and spotted a couple of "African Goby", which looks identical to my "peac.ock gobies" that died a while ago....
i bought what obviously looked like a dominate male (he was chasing other fishes around) and a slimmer nosed female... based on m/f identification of peac.ock gobies.

the male african goby is one mean guy, chases the female around most of the day... they live on frozen bloodworms... whats interesting is that the little 1.5" goby was chasing around chiclids about 2"inches long....

anyone have advise on these little guys?? what i should look out for? or are they similar to the peac.ocks gobies? which btw they are IDENTICAL looking except they are brown instead of brillant reddish white and yellow

get another female, this will give the females a effort to keep the male at bay

he only acts tough when its feeding time... and then half the time, he lets her rest next to him and he doesnt do a thing... hmm...
