Engineer Goby FTW!! They turn into a damn eel when they grow up. They’re awesome!!
Most entertaining fish I ever kept!!!
@Mohammed Razvi_2240421 I currently have 2 Engineer gobies in a 75 gallon tank with a black Ocellaris clown and they are doing fine.
Mad Hatters: *Does top 10 gobies list*
Also Mad Hatters: *Doesn’t put Yasha on list*
Agree. I love my yellow watchman gobies. I have one in both of my tanks. The best gobie I have had hands down.
I have a yellow watchman goby in my tank, he's paired with a Randall's pistol shrimp. I love watching him guard the hole, keeping my 2 clownfish, and pajama cardinals away, while the pistol shrimp keeps the entrance clear. Very entertaining to watch for sure.
I named my yellow watchman gobie tartar sauce after the grumpy cat. I totally agree that was a great call.
Does ur fish hide alot? I love the grumpyface and bright yellow! Just dont want a hider, have no plans for a pistol so maybe that will keep him out more where I can see him. Would be great if he would get leftover food as well!
You got the #1 right on. Mine will always try to steal the home of my jawfish. It is funny to see the interaction between the two. (Putting sand in each others holes) He will also carry and spit out any hermet crabs that end up near him. Great little fish with lots of personality.
Do a video about must have necessities for a reef aquarium.
Thanks for making this vid i use your channel for all of my info and I've never gone wrong
Awesome video Jeff! Lol old grumpy face I love it 😂😂😂 I had a yellow watchman goby in my first tank had him for awhile until he somehow jumped out was very upsetting. Thanks as always for the video buddy 👍
Thank you for watching! Sorry to hear about Free Willy.
I just got the watchman goby, is amazing, I love it! 🤩
Diamond goby is my favorite, keeps the sand bed clean 👍
A lot of people have mixed feelings about them but they do a great job cleaning the sand.
I love my green clown goby. I haven't caught him picking at the sps yet but I'm sure it will happen someday. I'd like to add you are supposed to have some established sps for him to hide in. He kinda just perches on my sticks or rocks all day and is super chill.
Great tip. Thanks for sharing!
I heard they hide alot. Is this not true? I think he is adorable but someone was saying he had 2 at separte times and both stayed hidden, and he said yellow clown goby was very bold and was always out perching on rock or corals.
Top 10 King is back!
I had an itch...
I to had a gobie paired with a pistol. Thought both we're gone because we never saw them once in the tank. Years later when moving to a larger tank we found the pistol and got it another gobie for about 6 months before that one jumped. Haven't seen pistol since but saw him daily with the gobie. Need to get another. Thanks for reminding me
Another great video!! Thank you. How about a PH video? I struggle with low PH on both tanks and have tried 3 different testing methods and have gotten the same results.
Is it just during the winter months?
No it’s always and I’m in Florida so no real winter to speak of. Just checked today and 120 is at 7.7 and 29 is at 7.5. No tops, return agitating the surface, both have air pumps outside the stand and skimmers running different time schedules?
I've had 2 Hector's gobies in my Aquarium for about 2 months now, they occasionally will eat live brine shrimp other times totally ignore them. They mostly pick around in the sand & rocks, I do have colonies of mysid shrimp living in my tank as well as micro & macro copepods I don't know for certain if they're feeding on them but their bellies are full and they appear healthy.
That’s all that matters
They're still doing their thing
How did you start your mysid shrimp colony?
Hey Jeff your videos are informational thank you
Got my very juvenile yellow watchman almost 1 yr ago now, absolutely love it hard to catch out at times though. Haha while watching thought wasn't getting in the list!
Great video! I really love gobies
Thanks Jeff many thanks 😉🏴👍
Thanks for watching!
Love the videos man! P.s. can you get a mandrin dragonet XD
I was looking forward to the 72 update! But a solid video, Jeff! Wish i saw that algae/lawn mower blenny! He helps keep my sand bed and rocks nice and polished
Please do a top 10 on coolest cheapest fish 🐠 plz🙂🤞
great idea
Great video Jeff! I just bought a tiger pistol/ ywg pair last week and they are both hiding in the rocks. They are really cool to watch.
Has the pistol shot one off yet?
I don't think so! I have heard noises in the tank but I thought that maybe it was water sounds from my return pump. When I put the pistol shrimp and goby in, they both hid in different spots. I think that they found each other now because I have seen both of them hiding in the same hole. So far I have 3 trochus snails, 2 blue legged hermit crabs (one ditched his shell and hid under the rocks). I haven't seen him since. and ywg/tiger pistol shrimp pair. I can't wait to add more soon. The guy at my LFS said I could start adding fish. My tank has been running for almost 2 months. I've got to remember to take it slow though.
Yellow clown gobies area a great option too, tones of personality, super peaceful and stays small.
Hello from 🇬🇧, very interesting video.
Are there any TROPICAL Blennies?
I love these & want some but pretty much all seem to be Marine.
Agree with the watchman, love mine:) but what about the Dracula goby ?
Thanks the facts you sad really helped me now my fish are so much happier 😃🐠🐟
Is the Firefish a good option for beginners?
Awesome video
Love the YWG too, but yasha gobies deserve a spot on the list?
I have old grumpy face with a tiger pistol shrimp. Definitely my favorite fish.
Hey with the yellow watchman goby in the nano tank video you said it’s minimum was 10 gal and in this one you said 30 gal....just wondering what one you think is right I’m starting a nano and wanted one but this vid said 30 gal
My understanding is that gobies do better with more sand or they run out of nutrients, meaning you either have to feed them and compromise water quality, or they essentially starve to death and don't have long life spans.
Love the video. I have been wanting to get the yellow watchmen goby but concerned on how to keep them from getting into the overflow box. My tank is the 180 gallon duel overflow boxes by Aqueuon. Any suggestions on how to keep them from getting into the overflow boxes?
Can their be multiple gobys in a tank?
No yasha goby!?!?!?!?!? 🤦♂️🤦♂️ lol
Green clown gobies are nice but when they mate the rip the flesh from the acros. Had to move mine. Still a nice looking fish. 😎👍
with reef safe... with caution, for sure.
Might have to try a watchman next, thanks!
They are a great fish!
Watchman pistol shrimp combo is amazing. Do it.
@@nogotrip6 Yellow Watchman and pistol Shrimp live together??
HI JEFF I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS! WHY AM I TYPING IN ALL CAPS?!?!?! AHHHHH
💪
Tiger Wards Goby is the best I've had.
Thank you
I have a diamond goby in my tank and that guy is always working cleaning my sand bed . The only bad thing is that he sometimes knock over or covers my frags on the sand-bed.
I want one of those! Dont know how it didnt make the list and I love that he is a bigger goby so you can actually see that cute face!
Looking for super simple saltwater setup guide for a pistol shrimp and 1 Goby. Still haven't found it after 2 months
Innovative Marine 15 gallon ALL IN ONE #nanoreeftank
ua-cam.com/play/PLBf07ecQeBG32M0YKf6A60rMmnC3N1-0F.html
My most desired is a Yasha goby pair
Diamond watchmen is by far the most utilitarian goby out there. I can't believe it didn't even make your list. You must hate them lol
I agree and they are cute as hell!
Would a gold headed goby and firefish goby be okay in the same 20 gallon tank?
Liked this lineup. Would have liked to see a link for each goby or maybe the name of each goby listed under it's picture. Thanks for making this, Jeff.
Will do.
Isn't the orange spotted goby the same as diamond goby? They do get pretty big, I don't think 10 gallons is enough
Are there any freshwater ones
Hmmm.... how’s the water box reef coming along!?!? Good video 👍👍
Needed a break. We’ll be back at it next week.
My watchman goby and my blue damsel keep beefing nothing serious yet but it looks funny when he opens his mouth bigger haha
Does round Gobi fish eat pellets
Mandarins are my favorite. Got a captive bred .hope everyone gets one . There so beautiful in any reef tank
Ben Gonzalez Not. A. Goby.
Kind of surprised the Yasha Goby did not make the cut. I have that, a Yellow Watchmen, High Fin and a Randall's in my Nuvo 40. Great list though!
How do they get along in one tank?
They are doing great. Never seen any aggression in the year I have had them all.
I have a female yellow watchman named Cheryl (lol) and a Dracula goby named rob zombie. Over time, I’ve fallen in love with gobies
Great list! completely off topic, what is that coral on the right? Acan?
Yes.
@@MadHattersReef Your acans certainly likes the flow, they are massive
Why is the yashi goby not on the list? I'm new I thought about getting one
Great fish!
What about manderian green goby?
cool vid
Loves me some gobies, we have a pair of engineers. The only drawback with them is they tunnel under all the rocks.
Can't do without the watchman goby
I Need to get a watchman!
It is freshwater ones
I'm surprised more people don't recommend the Citron clown goby over the green clown. I got one from Petco, never knew Petco have saltwater fish until I was in there one day, and they had one listed as a yellow clown goby but he has he's beautiful bright shiny blue lightning strikes that go across his eyes and body and they're even colored on the eyeball so there's no break in the line. When I was researching it I didn't see this coloration on the yellow clown goby and then I discovered he's a Citron. Great personality, and beautiful. I love him
How about the diamond goby
A lot of people have mixed feelings about them.
I don't like them personally. They require a mature tank and even then for some reason from my experience they just don't seem to last long
Would it be cruel to put any of these fish in a tank without a pistol shrimp? Could you point out the ones that would be fine in a 20 gallon cube with a pair of clownfish and a cleaner shrimp?
good
You must not know about the Griessingei Goby or Spiked goby. If not check em out. Pretty good list nonetheless!!
Will do, thanks for sharing!
One of the best looking gobies I've seen in fresh or salt, thanks for letting us know!
Is there any kind of goby that you can keep in bare bottom reef tank. Thanks in advance.
any except for the sand sifting types.
Ivan Topchiyski The best one would be a neon goby, they act kinda like a blenny.
Here ill save you some time 1 goby 2 goby 3 goby 4 goby 5 goby 6 goby 7 goby 8 goby 9 goby and 10 yeah you guessed it bogy
How did the diamond watchman goby not make this list? My lfs has a resident one and he is so cute and fun to watch. I love the gobys that have the bigger heads and he has that but also has size to him so you can actually see the cute face! I think they grow to 5 or 6 inches. She also has a scissortail goby, really pretty and has very big fins for a goby he is also a larger goby at about 5 inches. I think he is a resident to because he is in her large store tank!
They’re hard to keep alive for a lot of folks who don’t have aged sand
@@Merknilash i have had age sand but I have never been able to keep 1 they are so hard to keep for me
can clown goby and yellow watchman keep together??
What about the two spot goby
My yellow watchman went rogue killing 3 of my fish including my coral beauty 😤... lol he's not in that tank anymore. I've never seen that before
wow.
Video starts at 1:05
Love my high fin got him in my 7 cube with a pistol
I know my tiger pistol relies on my high-fin a ton. You PS probably was not getting enough food or just stressed to much due to not having a Goose to his Maverick.
I have some awesome yellow head gobys to bug out on
Nice. Thanks for watching!
the video starts at 1:01
all about the yellow watchmen goby
Which kind of goby fish should i buy feel free to comment or and leave a remark please and thank you
No sharknose or redhead goby!? For shame! :)
Try find me a yellow watchman goby now in Australia
Impossible, I don't now why
Interesting. They are readily available here in the states/
I'm so depressed after seeing my 6 yr old yellow goby on the floor all dried up... he was so beautiful n sweet.. I have a glass lid on it now
You sound kinda like Matt Walsh!
You said fin goby is easy to keep
I'm trying to find a flaming prawn
I love all of those but man they like to jump
Yes, very prone to jumping.
I just had to rescue my diamond goby out from under a rock. He was pinned sideways from removing too much sand. He was down at the glass.
Whoa. Did he make it?
He made it. I could see him still moving with my flashlight.
I sell all type gobi fish
My yellow clown goby is hurt! He's so cool I want to take him to the beach with me...
First
2nd
No tangora or dimand back gobys? Thoes are my favorite gobys
Found my pink and blue spotted goby on the floor this morning.... :/
