Looking for suggestions

Post by taureandragon76 »

I just finished moving my brackish setup (look at sig for inhabitants) from a 40g tank to a 60g diamond tank(hugefootprint for a 60g)

First off the puffers and bbgs look so tiny in there:D

Was just wondering some suggestions on other tank mates for this setup, was thinking about knight gobies, would that be ok? If so how many?
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Will post pics soon now that the new archerfish is settled in.

knight gobys work fine with figure 8s but you should be carefuyll because they are greedy and will gobble anything that fits in there mouth down/steal food from a puffers mouth there great fish and i love them but there little water pigs i dont think i could eat the same amount ( as compared to body weight)

I think my Knight Goby assisted in the killing of my BBGs, so make sure you get a baby Knight Goby. :P

Turns out that currently my lfs can't get them from our local supplier in town so I just have to wait I guess. I think they may be a seasonal thing.
