Goby Compatibility

[SnakeEyes27]

I have 26 gallon bow front tank which is a little over two months old. I currently have a yellow watchman goby in the tank (for about 3 weeks now) and would like to add another goby to tank since I have alot of live rock and was thinking about either a Green Clown Goby or a Blue Spotted Jawfish.

Would the watchman have any problems with these species?

there isnt a lot of sandbed for the goby and the jaw to stay out of eachothers way. my guess (and just a guess) is that the yellow watchman will constantly harass the jaw and not let it settle in.

clown gobies are probably ok but are also pretty likely to pick on your sps if you go that route.

I had a blue spotted jawfish in my 24 gallon nano with a yellow spotted watchman for about 6 months till i put them in my 75gallon.... never seen them fight or anything.. my only suggestion would be make sure they are different sizes... good luck!!! i currently have 5 different gobies in my 75 for over a yr with no issues. Awibrandy thought me tricks...lol not to mention i have 3 different blennies as well.. lol
