Royal gramma or Neon goby?

BLUESMAN · 06-19-2001, 08:07 AM

I'm trying to decide which one/s to put in my 55g.I would like a pair but all the info I found was that grammas are hard to pair up and are only rec. one to a tank.What about the goby?I'd like to get 4 to insure a breeding pair.Tank consist of a 55g and a 29g rear tank(both with 6"DSB and about 80# of LR).Other fish include 2 Cinnamons and 2 Tomato clowns and 2 PJ Cardinals.THanks for the info.

tomato clowns like to much on neons, if it is small wnough to fit in its mouth, I'd be careful! If you put them in the other tank, they should be fine!

some fish may like(bite) neons but for the most part alot of fish leave them alone cuz they are cleaners or act as a cleaner. But I've seen them get muched on by other larger shrimp gobies. My tangs ,perc,and other fish leave my cleaner alone and are cleaned often by it.
