gobytron is an unknown quantity at this point

over the years, I've had so many pairs of these...a nano is almost not complete without them in my house.

In a small tank, they almost always find one another...though sometimes it takes a week or two it's usually near instantaneous.

In larger displays, I have just used a well positioned weighted cover, like tupperware to keep them together until the shrimp builds his burow and the goby joins it.


Keep in mind, LFS often charge more for a symbiotic pair than for 2 individuals so depending on where you get your info, there may be some bias.

you know the scooter blenny is actually a scooter Dragonet right? there dedicated copopod eaters . I have heard of lots of people training them to eat frozen foods and or marine pellets . The scooters are suposed to be easier . Im thinking of getting a scooter or a droagonet for my new 15 gal and training it so it would be great if you kept us updated on how your guy is doing .

Yes I did intact know they were dragonets, sorry for the typo. Ive seen tons of lil copepods and other microcritters so she should have plenty of food for the time being. Also, the lfs said he's been adding mysis to the tank and they were eating.. Then again he's told me alot of things, like looking closer at my clown I'm sure it's occeleris not percula, and that my scooter will eat algae lol. I'll get som video/pics up after work hopefully
