Bumble bee gobies. - Aquarium Advice

I'd like to know what other tankmates my bumble bee goby could have?

Being a brackish water fish, you could do some mollies with him. Hopefully some others with more experience with brackish water fish will chime in. In the meantime.........

Mono's and Scat's are brackish but different brackish fish need differnt levels of salt content.. not to mention temperment and such so doing some brackish reaserch for wich fish would be best with the gobie that you would be intrested in...
here is a good brackish water general reaserch link..

Are dragon gobies easy to keep?

I would suggest doing some research about brackish water and brackish species before you get a BB goby. There are lots of neat fish but many of them need very large tanks (including monos, scats, etc). I keep two violet gobies in my tank they get large and don't take !*#$ from any of my other fish (2 med archer, 1 columbian shark, 1 wide bar datinoid). but in a large enough tank I don't think it would be a problem to keep them with BB gobies (like say at least 40 much better 55gal+).

I read those 2 kinds of fish get along fine because they both eat the same food.
