bumble bees

Good, bad, indifferent? What size do they get and compatibility with other "docile" fishies? Thanks!

There are at least 3 fish that I know of that are referred to as bumblebees... what are we talking about?

They are very picky eaters, and they don't eat things unless they either are alive or look alive. and there's two varieties. One is strictly brackish, and one that can handle freshwater. They're also very territorial towards their own species, and they change territories often. Luckily, the disputes rarely get any worse then a bit of nipping.

I've never heard of a fw bumblebee goby. The only one I've ever heard of is Brachygobius doriae, which is a bw fish.

Brachygobius Nunus is the one that can live in freshwater. I say can though... Doesn't mean it should.
