Dragon Goby

[miked78231]

is a dragon goby good for your tank? i have a snowflake eel, 4 damsels, one yellow tang and one clown. am i over stocking my tank with 7 fish and an eel? i have a 55g setup with 50lbs of rock.

Personally i dont like them, they glide over the tank covering your rockwork with sand, its a mess..I used to have 1 in my old 55 gal. tank. i had to break it down to get that f...er out, they are quick and hard to catch once they are in the tank. I wouldnt add 1..

Overcrowding your tank means you're going to have to clean your tank more often and you run into the possibility of disease spreading if water is not maintained. What may be overcrowding to you may not be to somebody else. Just think about your fish and the swimming room they have. Clown, eel, and dragon don't need alot of swimming room.

I have a dragon and he is beautiful and entertaining. And I think the sand he drops on the rock adds character to the tank, looks more natural 8) . I do have to occasionally use my turkey baister to blow sand off coral and stuff. Reef is just a clean freak!! :P

LOL, yeah..im a clean freak..I dont even like coralline algea..or any type of algea..i hate it..but my tank is always crystal clear..all sides, super clean..lol..rock work, purple and sand.. white..

If you are adding the goby for sand cleaning purposes, ive had much better luck with sand sifting start..JMO
