The Puffer Forum

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.

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..

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.

id be very careful, pufferpunk took her dragon goby to full marine and after 5 years it had several red tumours from not being in brackish,
its now diceased (sp)

She kept her first one in FW, it developed tumors and died, not in salt...

oh okay my bad =]
