I have a dragon goby and have had it for 6 years and he has done great in fresh water. All the fish you can see in the picture have been there for 6 years.. All doing great together.. The dragon goby is fun to watch, he comes out often and swims around the tank for hours bobbing his head in and out of the water, I usually leave an inch clear at the top just for him to do this, he seems to be enjoying himself and like I said has for 6 years.
