Wild caught Neon Gobies?

[Project Reef]

I haven't seen wild caught Neon Gobies (either blue or gold) in a long time. Anyone here know where to get them?

Guess I never gave it any thought, I just figured they all came from ORA?

Tong's has some usually, but no idea if they're WC or CB.

tongs had a few different species of little gobies today... i saw what i think they called a brazillian neon goby... a translucent white with a red stripe down the middle and about the same size as a regular neon goby

I've seen them at Pacific Reef the last few times I was over there

Rich's Aquarium service In Costa Mesa had some recently. I bought 2 yellow ones. His fish supply is limited but everything is healthy or he will not sell it to you.

laverda, they are wild caught?

Hmm...I think it's tough to find wild-caught neon gobies. I believe the majority of neon gobies sold in LFS are tank-raised.

That's exactly why I am asking the question Lam. :)

I do not know if they are wild caught or not. Just letting you know he had them. Give Rich a call and ask him. Why are you specificly looking for wild caught?

Label me a fish snob, but I just don't like the quality of ORA fish.

O Thats reasonable. mine are healty where ever they came from. I prefer captive bread fish when pratical.
