I bought a single zebra fogy yesterday, will he be okay by itself or should I get a second so it can have company?

austinsdad said:He's in a new place. That's normal for new fish in a tank. And, thats what a lot of gobies do anyway. What else is in the tank?
Innovator said:Depends, are we speaking of Ptereleotris zebra? If so, they tend to do best in small groups and should be housed in at least a 40g "Breeder" or longer tank since they do openly school/shoal (not a hoverer ime).
austinsdad said:That engineer may drive you crazy later. What kinda substrate?
austinsdad said:They don't call them engineers for nothing. Hopefully your rock isn't just sitting on the sand instead of down on the bottom glass. They will dig underneath of the rock if so. Maybe yours is small now, but they can get up to 12 or 18" depending on which profiles you read. I've seen them as large as 12". Also, its recommended that you add pairs or more togther.
