I have 11 bumblebee goby in a 55 gallon community tank and they are about the lowest maintenance fish i have. In the morning everybody gets three bloodworm cubes, thawed in aquarium water. They are in with 6 glo tetras, 6 various poecilidae, 1 tiger hillstream loach, and 2 Florida flagfish and they all swarm for the morning feed, the gobys will snack on small pieces of flake in the evening if they are hungry.
I have three of these in a 125 community tank. They eat frozen blood worms ,and do not acknowledge anything else in the tank except each other. The three seem to get along ok ,but I added 2 more at one point and they were not having it. The three I had killed the two within 2 days of being introduced . Tank is well established, spot on water perimeters ,and I'm in vegas and we have HARD water . The angelfish do not chase or harass anything in the tank but each other . The only thing I saw was aggression from the established gobys . 6 Philippine blue angels/varied 11 cherry barbs 8 corey doras 3 kuhli loaches 2 sewellia hillstream loaches 3 yo yo botia 1 halibut 1 siamese algae eater 17 to 20 ghost shrimps About 50 live plants .
Great video! I just picked some of these guys up and was researching videos before I reviewed them on my channel myself! I have mine in freshwater right now and I hope they make it! The water is hard at least.
Tripod and some more footage of the fish live maybe at your lfs and you got this in the bag, Would like to see more from you keep it scientific and stray away from the major youtube pitfalls of content just to have content.
So I have endlers with my cherry shrimp if I add these guys will they leave my shrimp alone full size cherry are the same size about so I’m talking about it leaving the baby’s alone thinking of getting them when small
i have two Bumblebee gobies and 22 community fish, Guppies, Tiger barbs, Dalmatian mollies, bala sharks, 1 betta, etc, in a 75 gallon tank.. will this be ok?
hI mate, they still doing ok? I just bought 2 and keep them in fresh water as well, and I feed them with dry shrimp food but so many ppl keep telling me that they gonna die soon if I keep them in this way.
Hi. Nice information. The pet store sold me six bumblebee goby. When I asked for something that could devour my algae. I was in no position to research it there. But now I find that it needs live food. Does it never eat algae?
To the best of my knowledge Bumblebee Gobies are carnivorous. Stiphodon Gobies such as the Cobalt Blue Goby are specialized algae eaters, here is a link www.seriouslyfish.com/species/stiphodon-semoni/
How do you make water slightly hard? I have my bumble goby with a betta and tetras and the goby ate one of my smaller ember tetras lol. But I’m from Chicago so I don’t k o if the water hard or not
I have 6 in freshwater they won't eat anything beside frozen bloodworms and pleco wafers 😂 they are the tiniest fish that are in my tank the biggest fish in there with them is 3 ghost black knife fish and 3 spiny eels I had em for 6 months already they all get along together
There are a lot of rather obscure gobies that occasionally appear on the market. From my own understanding the Peacock Goby , while not a true goby is one of the easier species to care for. Here a link to site that often find useful www.seriouslyfish.com/species/tateurndina-ocellicauda/
MrReyno Tanks thanks but I have decided to get the bumble bee goby. I called the fish store I go to and they said that I should be able to take care of them. My PH is 7.5 and I feed the tank blood worms on the weekends and the guys at the store said that should be fine.
I would assume that angels would try to eat the bumbleebee gobies. Many of the gouramis are tolerate of hard water, but some of the larger types, may also try to eat the bumbleebee gobies.
My partner has a 10 gallon tank which she has a very nice placid crown tale beta and a few tetras and a small cory then she decides to buy 3 bumblebee gobys, the guy did warn us they were very placid and nice and the beta mite eat them, so we tried anyways, all went well until the third day when i switched on the tank light and noticed the beta had half a tail missing, i automatically thought it must have fin rot until an hour later when there was a commotion in the tank and the 3 gobys were ripping my gfs betas tail apart, i immediately threw them in my other tank with my angels and other lager fish, there doing fine hiding in the rocks and the betas tail is growing back! Warning These little fish are monsters, have in your tank at your own risk! 😂😂😂

They do love frozen daphnia and it's worth trying them with a small pellet, sera is a good brand.
I remember now,I did have a little bumble bee fish in my aquarium tank during the summer of 1989 during my early years in HS.

Thanks for this wisdom. I needed it.
Believe it or not, i have 4 of these guys kept with dwarf puffers. They do great with eachother!
I hope your tank stays fruitful, it sounds like an interesting community.
So cute

I only saw the initial picture for the whole video...?
Love those little guys
mine took frozen blood worms without problems
So I have endlers with my cherry shrimp if I add these guys will they leave my shrimp alone full size cherry are the same size about so I’m talking about it leaving the baby’s alone thinking of getting them when small

Similar to my tank. A large community tank. I love it. Hope the gobys were ok as I just got mine and added them. Hoping I can feed them properly!
Mine eat shrimp pellets, had them for a year in freshwater.
hI mate, they still doing ok? I just bought 2 and keep them in fresh water as well, and I feed them with dry shrimp food but so many ppl keep telling me that they gonna die soon if I keep them in this way.
TopRock how did yours do, just got a few
so mostly brackish water for them? i had them in brackish before without problems, but i have noticed that some advocate fresh
Cool Goby Fish Brackish or hard freshwater is recommended.

If you havent done it already can you do the krisbensis cichlid? thanks
I already did that species.
you did a profile of a fish you dont own?
Do the they attack shrimps?
I get a lot of mixed answers or opinions about this but are they safe to keep with neocaridina or caradhina
No they will eat them
Can I keep them in a black water tank
Hmmm. Let me know what you find. I have them in a large freshwater but I think the black water tank they may pop with their color...
What would you count as hard water for these guys?
My source, seriously fish, recommended a hardness of at least 143 ppm.
Mine are so picky it only ate one specific type of bloodworm
I have 6 in freshwater they won't eat anything beside frozen bloodworms and pleco wafers 😂 they are the tiniest fish that are in my tank the biggest fish in there with them is 3 ghost black knife fish and 3 spiny eels I had em for 6 months already they all get along together
My betta fish is too slow to catch my new bumblebee goby loll
Have 6 of these in with my f8 puffers had them for 4 months now and never seen them eat.
How many times are you meant to feed them ???
What is the easiest goby for freshwater? I am asking because I recently decided that I want a goby. My tank PH is 7.5 will that be ok for most gobies?

Good luck my good sir =.
Hey I'm 3 years late but I would say australian desert gobies are the easiest freshwater gobies in my own experience
@@cryptocorynes1253 totally agree with you! By far the most fun. Waaay more fun than bumblebee gobies, even though they only live for a year. :(
can they be compatible with gouramis and angels
I would assume that angels would try to eat the bumbleebee gobies. Many of the gouramis are tolerate of hard water, but some of the larger types, may also try to eat the bumbleebee gobies.
thanks for the response XD
In Indonesia this name gendang gendis fish
In Philippines we called that "isdang bato"because always stick in the rock
Wunderschön so viel Plastik
