Tank mates for a F8

Post by The Fisherman »

Hi,
I was wondering, are there any fish that could safely go in a 10 gal. tank, along with a F8?

thanks
-John

BB gobies are small, but they'd add to the bioload and likely increase the need for more frequent water changes (any tankmates would)...I'm too lazy for that kind of stuff myself.

Just something to think about.

Many BBGs are "missing" in my F8 tank. I do have a dragon goby in there but I don't believe he'd eat them.

PP - out of curiousity, what do you feed the BB gobies? They're cute little things, so I've thought of adding a trio to my 20 long figure 8 tank, but I know little to nothing about them.

Cool, that's a varied diet - I was afraid they were live food only or frozen only (and small bits) like puffers.
