knight gobys

[adamj]

the brackish is up with live plants, mangrove root looking decorations, and knight gobys.

any thoughts on the husbandry of these little guys?

also, we need to get this brackish area going, not many posts here

My biggest challenge with the knight gobies was their picky eating habits. It was just too difficult to deal with the live brine shrimp (much less blackworms) and they wouldn't go for any of the flake.

Here's a link to another spot that my shed some insight:

Cool man thanks! Any info is of cource welcome. Im happy to say mine are eating completely fine, They really enjoy tropical flake, lucky for me lol. but thats what they had been used to eating for ages at the lfs, im slowly going to introduce them to other live foods.

No probs...try doing a google search on "knight goby breeding" or "knight gobi breeding" and see what you find.

i'ts been a couple weeks now. the tank is cycling out fine. the gobys are doing EXTREMELY well. I've been watching the fish and the cycle closely as to make sure the gobys can handle the cycle. They are eating great, even eating flake. They seem to LOVE it. I've got a small two gallon setup with line brine i feed them every so often. Some of the plants i tried didnt take to the salt so i had to pull them, but i've gott a java fern thats doing well and the mondo grass appears to be fine, but im watching it closely.

Im thinking of adding 2 mollies. any thoughts?

Where did you get mangroves? I can't find them locally or online

[adamj]

well, the mangrove isnt real. Its a mangrove sstump decoration. HOWEVER! im setting up a 20 long that'll be a half and half brackish for crabs. I plant on getting some live mangroves for that.. www.liveaquaria.com has the mangroves.
