I currently have two marbled gobies in my Violet Goby tank. The SG is 1.008. I can't find any info on the SG required by marbled gobies and in fact most sites list them as fresh water. I can easily put them in a fresh water tank but I bought them with the intentions of being in my brackish tank. Currently they are 2.5" and 3". And yes, I know they get up around 20" when fully grown.
What Sg For Marbled Gobies?

I'm not sure on what i'll do with it yet, i keep both brackish and freshwater tanks so i have either option. I may put it in a very light brackish brackish set up with a few siamese tigers and spiney eels eventually.
Mines about 6-7" at the moment.
There seems to be a lot of confusion about whether or not this is a brackish fish, most internet sources suggest brackish though many people have had success keeping them in FW and even the Baensch book says the fish is FW but then suggests the addition of 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt per 2 1/2 gallons of water.
It could just be a case that the fish is hardy enough to survive anything, most of the larger sleaper gobies are pretty bomb proof so the choice is yours as to where you want to keep it.
