Hi all, Thanks for everyone's help/input thus far. As an update, I planted the tank this evening w/ java ferns (two species), tiger lotus, two species of anubias and four marimo moss balls. Am currently filling the tank w/ FW and plan to up the salinity slowly to 1.005. Next, the knight goby will go...

Yeah, it's the female goby that's zippy and highly active. But even so, the gobies tend to live in the rockwork, which I believe is the key to the tank being a success. My f8 is also quite outgoing and like all puffers, it comes down to the personality of the fish. If I was doing a similar setup, I...

<The female is quite a zippy fish and was too eratic for the puffer, especially at feeding time> I assume the "female" you refer to above is the female knight goby, correct? This is right in line with everything else I've read - that sometimes it is the gobies who are too aggressive for th...

combatting algae / potential knight goby and F8 tankmates

I wanted to resurrect this thread...I know I'm new to the site, but am not new to fishkeeping, and just wanted to shed some light and ask some questions... First off, from all the research I've done, Florida flag fish do well in low brackish conditions - up to 1.005. I, too, was wondering if anyone ...

http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4332&highlight=figure knight goby Here's the link re: knight gobies and F8s. Im certainly not worried about the goby being overly aggressive (he's pretty much afraid of his own shadow!), but the other way around. In a 29 gal., how about 2 F8s a...

Hi Kass, Can you tell me specifically about housing a figure 8 w/ a knight goby? I have read that the "8" is one of the least fin-nippy puffs, but am still hesitant about the two together...I *know* I saw another post around here (can't of course find it now!) about someone doing this... T...
