Red Striped Goby, Clingfish

Does anyone have a red striped goby(Trimma Cana)? If so I would like to see your pics. Also, does anyone have pics of clingfish?

No pics right now, but I have both, and both are great fish.

The Trimma has been in a 20 gal with over a dozen similar size fish ( other Trimma species, Eviota, clown gobies) for over 6 months. It never hides, and eats anything the tank is fed.

The clingfish is in my 180 for nearly a year with a large Diadema urchin. I am only guessing at cause and effect, but previous attempts with clingfish without the urchin resulted in the clingfish wasting away over the course of several weeks. The current one does not stay wth the urchin, but visits from time to time to nip at the tube feet. It hunts all over the tank, but I've never seen what (if anything) else it eats.

Trimma cana does best in groups but you have to male sure to have limited males.
