the only shrimp goby combo near me is 50 quid so its very pricey
and i like the assesor but can never find em

i really want a clown goby but what else heres a list of what i can get hold of but most may be no good
Red Spot Cardinal
Ghost Cardinal
Arc Eyed Hawk
False Gramma
Bluehead wrasse
Skunk Clowns
Common Clowns
clown goby

and the cuc sounds good to me aswell

Red Spot Cardinal
Ghost Cardinal the only cardinal I like, but think they do better in shoals
Arc Eyed Hawk not sure what this is, is it a scarlet hawk?
False Gramma maybe a gramma, but I'm not a fan - believe Tina likes them
Bluehead wrasse not sure which this one is?
Skunk Clowns Only the pink would be small enough I believe - but think they are hard to come by
Common Clowns maybe a pair of small juvies fora while, as long as you have space in to move them into your larger tank
clown goby - what about a pair, cute

and the cuc sounds good to me aswell

You could have a shrimp as well

14 gallons is simply too small for a pair of clown gobys...if you want a pair you need atlest 30 gallons...clown gobies will become aggressive towards there own species

 

[bae1994]

ok

i want a clown goby

the cuc

and a cleaner shrimp and a fire fish

 

[seffieuk]

Apologies Bae, if I misinformed you about a pair - I had assumed that with their small size and habit of sticking to one coral that a fifteen gallon would be suitable for a pair. I suppose the problem with tank fouling from the amount they eat may be the problem but I am sure someone with more knowledge of these cuties will come along soon

There is a an interesting read here:
