+Razor Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Thats going to be awsome if they will match up. Take some pictures if it works. Ah, misread... thought you were pairing up an eng. and pistol shrimp Edited July 21, 2009 by Razorsharp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I would suspect with that large of a tank there should not be a problem. But I have never had an engineer goby before. My shrimp/goby pairs always stayed around one general spot in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiLS Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I don't think there should be a problem with that large f a tank ad with enough rock work..I thin ima Keep 3 in my 75 gallon lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 2 totally different creatures. You might never see the engineer goby again. They live in tunnels under the sand bed. The yellow watchman should find a spot under a rock. Do note: Engineer gobies can get huge 8+ inches. They look like eels at that point. I have read several accounts of people seeing their rock work tumble down and break the glass of their tanks due to the constant burrowing and rearranging of the engineer goby. When they get about 4" they will decide how they want the tank decorated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhart032 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 hrmm well hes acclimating right now. im a little scared cause my rock work isn't completely stable, but the watchman and the pistol have done a pretty good job of rearranging them selves so it mite not be that bad and i dont really have a deep sand bed its about 2 1/2 inches and most my rock is on the glass already. hate to see him break the tank tho. he is about 4" already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhart032 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 now the clowns have seen the watchman goby bite at him every time he swims by and the clowns are mimicking the goby. Clown fish are trouble makers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yikes! Sounds like an all out war is brewing in your tank Clowns can be very territorial (depending on the type). It seems the redder a clown is, the meaner it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
