Hi Fin Goby & Shrimp Pair

[BigBeginner]

Can someone in the usa suggest a place I can buy a hi fin goby and shrimp pair online or in my area (oklahoma)

or at least where i can get a shrimp that i will be able to pair with a hi fin, because i can get a hi fin off of liveaquaria when i order my corals, ect.

Thank you, all help is appreciated

no one? =[

Your best bet is to call the folks at liveaquaria and/or wait and scour the divers den there. Occasionally they have pairs for sale.

ok, thanks

any other options?

Go to Southern California, visit the main US wholesalers directly, beg and plead with them to sell you a pair... It's tough to find a pair of them. You CAN have success with adding the two simultaneously as the first two bits of stock in the tank. Often times they'll pair up but it's never 100%

thats what i originally planned to do, since they would be the only fish in that tank, but i cant find the right pair and be able to get them at the same time, cause online sites never have both in stock

I looked at the divers den, and they had 1 drac goby and pistol pair, but it is 150 us dollars... then they have 3 mottled and hifin goby pairs with pistol shrimp (2 gobies and 1 shrimp) "packages" that are from 80-150 us dollars, but i dont want 2 gobies and a pistol nor do i have the space for them in this tank

Dracula Gobies are relativly rare, mine cost me £50 cough, cough! I adore him and his fangs, yes, he really does have fangs

Keep looking, you will find what you are looking for soon, meanwhile enjoy the hunt

o.o how many us dollars is 50?

 

[BigBeginner]

darn, they have a new pair of hi fin red banded gobys and a red banded pistol, but it has 2 gobies... for 80$.

Maybe ill buy it and put one in my 55 gal?

EDIT: there is a Tangaroa Goby And Red Banded Pistol Shrimp pair now, for $40

about 70$ for just one little goby but I loved him as soon as I caught sight of him

wow thats a lot, but at least he was worth it

only fish ive loved and i would have a funeral if she died is my scooter blenny, just cause what she went through when i got her, she almost starved, but now she eats frozens and has been alive for about a year =] and shes so funny, so much personality in such as small fish. But she was only about 15-20$

Can understand that, I have a Mandarin that was exactly the same - really was shocking how skinny she was
