I was thinking about getting some for myself. How much would they affect the bioload in my 28 gallon? I plan on having a pair of oscellaris and a lawnmower blenny. That is all I have planned now, with the addition of some of those cute gobies hopefully. I don't know if I will be having hard corals though, will that be a problem? I know they are perchers. Also are they very shy or are they little showoffs? :) thanks,

In my opinion, a couple in a 28 gallon would not affect the bioload much at all. Once acclimated mine hop from coral to coral. They are not that shy in my tank at least.

Here are a few pictures:

Absolutely adorable! I must learn more about them - do you know what their scientific name is?

I think all of the clown gobies are of the Gobiodon sp.

You can see a few of them here:

hmm...I didn't see the clown gobies, did I miss them on the goby gallery? I agree they're the cutest little things. Anyone have any bad experiences with them?
