OMG I'm sooo excited!

Post by CarmenH »

I found bumblebee gobies!!! I've only ever seen them once at a LFS around here and they looked horrible!
I was killing time before meeting a friend tonight so I wandered into a garden center that has a little fish room, and they had a tank full of bright, active, healthy looking little guys! I bought 4 and the girl threw in an extra one, so I may have to re-home some at some point but right now they are tiny so I'm not concerned.
In a 20g (weekly 30% WC's) with an F8 who has remained quite petite, how many should I keep, long-term? I have a friend who probably wants some anyhow but I'd like to keep as many as is safe...

That's exciting!

Our F8 has stayed very small too. She's grown but it's very slow.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

You'll probably be OK with all 5 if you have plenty of decor but I stick to the 1 per 20cm diammeter of the tank footprint rule.

The tank is pretty heavily decorated...
