Exciting NEW Figure 8 Tank!!

Post by kjharve »

Hi,

I'm about to set-up a 30 gallon tank for F8s. I've got this darn great mangrove-root looking decoration thing which is gonna look great and plan to fill it with loadsa plants so they have plenty of hiding places.

I'm also thinking of putting some bumblebee gobies in there too. They seem to be quite difficult to find where I am though. I know this question has been asked before but what stocking levels would you lot suggest? I was thinking of a pair of F8s and 3 or 4 gobies. Does that sound too much?

Also, in case I have trouble getting the gobies, does anyone have any ideas for other interesting tankmates? If not then I guess I'll keep them alone.

Cheers,

Kev

I have a mollie and a knight goby in a 29 gallon tank with my figure 8. So far so good, but they haven't been together long, and I did have to remove one mollie which the puff was snacking on (it's tail - this mollie was always in his face).

I started out w/8 BBGs in my F8 tank--now there is 1.
