Im trying to decide between a pearly jawfish, a firefish, and a little green clown goby (thought I'd give it a shot!) and a coral...
are the jawfish captive bred?

Hi fishkid

Im gonna totally disagree with the Clown Goby....I tried one in my 20gal and it started getting skinnier and skinnier....I tried live brine shrimp alot of the time ....I tried fresh seafood...I used zoecon with most of the foods too. They are very picky eaters and from what I have heard they like Mysis shrimp (LIVE) I ended up giving my Clown goby to a freind with an established 75gal tank and it eventually died

I loved that fish too every time I see them in the LFS's they are skinny....but the one I bought was fat! Im not saying that they wont make it....I have seen a few ppl carry them on for quite some time....but I do believe the success rate is fairly low. I was also hoping that it would pair up w/my Pistol shrimp, which it didnt....but now I have a yellow watchman gobie that DID pair up with my pistol and that is an AWESOME sight! I will try and post some pics....I think this would be a great Idea for your tank...The pistol/watchman pair is very entertaining to watch!

HTH

That would be cool! but one question before I put in fish that dig... I dont have a very live sand bed, in fact Ive only seen 2 worms in it! is that cause to worry about putting in a fish that digs? I was thinking about a goby/pistol pair, but they dont always pair up...

I would guess that if you built a little hole in under a rock and added both of the creatures(goby and shrimp) you would have a decent chance that both of them would pair up and hopefully stay at the front of tha tank(That's what Im going to try anyway)
