Marbled Goby Questions...

[ntswift]

I picked up this Marbled goby from my lfs about a month or two ago. I know that it gets up to 30" and its from asia, but thats about it. Does anyone know much about these? What they like to eat? How fast they grow? Etc...TIA

Here's a few places to get some info:

Not a lot out there about them. Seems like from what I've read, they'll eat just about anything they can fit in their mouth, but they seem to prefer live stuff. I'm also seeing a lot about them being a pretty common seafood dish in China.

Interesting fish you got there. . . .hope you've got a big tank or a pond.
