Wow, do I LOVE that goby. I don't know if you are familiar with the species, but is the skunk goby (Redigobius balteatus) would fair well in a SA/NA community tank? (L201, L129,L314, cory trilineatus and pygmyous, along with some Pterophyllum scalare and Enneacanthus gloriosus as inhabitants)

When I was in the Philippines I found Stiphodon atropurpureus in several streams but could not take them out of the country. Where did you get yours and what do you feed them? They look very healthy.

Wow have I been inspired Glenn, I am actively trying to find some nice gobies now (may be getting two different sp. of stiphodon and some knight gobies (not sure of their scientific names). Hope this goes well! Could you post some more pics of the gobies ( i know this is a catfish site, but I want to see them.) I think your lined ones are a type that I am in the process of purchasing.

Ron and nvcichlids, thanks for the kind reactions! :D

The Stiphodons eats everything! especially the shrimppallets and bloodworms. I bought them for more than 2 years ago in Amsterdam at my lfs.

Is that goby related to the stiphodon ornatus? They look really similar. ( I am getting the ornatus and the "red neon" sp)

Also, are your gobies ones that hide or do they tend to stay out in the open more? (Fiance wants to make sure they are active in the open fish.)

Thanks for posting the pics :thumbsup: Look forward to seeing more! :thumbsup:

nvcichlids, thanks for your kind reaction! :D

I'don't know if the Stiphodon atropurpureus are related to the ornatus...

My Stiphodon's are not shy and they stay out in the open, but some times they're digging holes to hide... :wink:

awesome pictures and tanks. I love the oto/paraoto species in your pictures (the all brown/green fish). My gobies have been ordered and set to ship on 5/11 so I should have pics by later that week. Ordered 6 of each species (better get atleast a pair out of each lol.)

Your pics are phenominal! I wish I could shoot have as good.

That thing is awesome!

BTW, do you think that the gobies could live with Steatocranus tinanti?

Thanks nvcichlids! The hisonotus leucofrenatus are one of my favorites!
I don't think that gobies can live together with cichlids...gobies are smallfish and not so fast...

Richard B and nvcichlids, thanks for the compliments! :D

nvcichlids, i don't know what kind of material the btn slimline is made of, it's a kind of polystyrene or epoxy :?: it has three layers, the outside is very hard and the side where it's sticked on the glass is soft, like foam:

Image

Image

I'll keep these two dwarfpuffers in the tank, i bought them yesterday and theyre living now in the aqua-65, about 2 to 3 weeks they'll be placed in the new tank:

Soo cute! They'll make good subjects to photograph. Have they picked a territory yet? One in each corner like prize fighters :lol: Very smart fish too. They'll watch your every move.

Look forward to seeing more of the puffers and the cory school too- beautiful!
