Wanted: Seeking Some Goby or Goby-Like Family Fish

[trustemedia]

Here's what I'm looking for (forgive if I get anything wrong as there is a lot of mixed info out there with names and such) - or anything like the below:

Blue Neon Stiphodon (stiphodon semoni or stiphodon atropurpureus)

Empire Goby / Emperor Gudgeon (hypseleotris compressa)

Rainbow Goby (Not sure scientific name. Seen on a website. It has an orange head, blue body, another wide orange stripe and blue tail. Maybe it's a form of Sicyopterus lagocephalus? Not sure, but pretty, unique, and can't find anywhere.)

Awaous Flavus (candy cane goby)

Peacock Goby (Tateurndina ocellicauda)

Desert Goby (chlamydogobius eremius)

Stiphodon Elegans

Rhinogobius Duospilus

Rhinogobius Zhoui

Stiphodon percnopterygoinus

If anyone breeds, knows where I can get any, or has some to sell, please let me know.

I've found some online, but shipping is totally outrageous for the small order I would be placing and the combination I want seems to always be split between different websites. Not wanting to spend $60 in shipping for $20-$30 worth of fish.

Looking for goby also. I talked to my lfs to see if he could order some he said he would try . So ask yours if they would do the same

 

[dragonfisher33]

You can try this site. I have purchased from her before . The livestock has always been healthy. I have never had a D. O . A. She sometimes carries Gobies. If you don't see what your looking for just write her and ask if she will get some in.

Try msjinkzd.com

Her name is Rachel and she has the best price and most reasonable shipping. For example, her CPDs are 3.50 each while LFS has them for $5.00 - $7.99 each!!

She even carries the rare yellow zebra Otocinclus!

I ended up ordering from wet spot tropical fish (Home). All came alive, healthy and are doing fabulous. I love them!

Bullet goby. Is a great sand sifter

This was my pink spotted goby. The best fish I ever had. Lived to be 14 years old before it died jumping from the tank.
