Dragon goby question
I know dragon Gobies pretty well and know their habitat and range. The question I have is, has anyone taken them to full marine or low marine environment? My SG is sitting at 1.012 and I am thinking of going higher, say 1.020 and adding LR and LS for better "grazing" for them. I'm sure they'd love having the `pods to find in the sand and have a little better diet.

Re: Dragon goby question
from the research that I've done, they'd be extremely happy in a fully marine tank.. but I don't know that from personal experience..

Re: Dragon goby question
I've read that they have been found in the gulf of Mexico down to 100 feet but the reports are spotty. I'm going to give it a try and see what happens, worst that can happen is at the first signs of stress I take them back down to where I have them currently.

Re: Dragon goby question
She kept her first one in FW, it developed tumors and died, not in salt...
