Desert gobies

[Erin Sarah]

Hi,
I recently got two desert gobies for my tank, I was just wanting to know any information about them. I know they have a short life span but that's about it.
Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

I assume you mean, Chlamydogobius eremius. It is also called the Australian desert goby and is said to only live 12-18 months. I have no experience with them, but here is an article that could perhaps be useful.
Breeding Desert Gobies

I am guessing they are like killifish and could live longer in captivity where the water won't dry up on them, but that is just a guess based on minimal research.

Those gobies are cool. I should order some from my lfs.
