goby

[Red44]

I my local fish store is having sale on these enginer gobies and they kinda look like small Eels I was wondering if there were reef safe? and is it better than the watchman gobies ?

They are reef safe however they get a foot long and need at least a 70 gallon tank. Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Engineer Goby

Thxs would you recamand a enginer goby or watchmen goby?

 

[joy13]

I really would want to know how big your tank is and what you have stocked already. How deep is your sand bed and also are your rocks very stable? Watchman need a deeper sand bed because they like to burrow. Myself if I had the right sand bed I would go for the watchman.

My tank 72 plus gallon i have 4-5 inch sand bed my rock is somewhat stable

Oh and I have 2 clownfish already and few snails and hermits and that's about it.

Your tank is large enough for either goby and both seem to be pretty easy to care for. It sounds like you really like the engineer and once you do a little more research I am pretty sure that is the one you will end up with. They change colors as they mature.
