72 gallon brackish tank

[ModderRhu87]

those violet gobies look like they could just gulp down some of your smaller fish

[steveisamadbeast]

I love dragonfish so much, I've never had one but i have a freshwater setup with a turtle and cichlids, if i added enough salt so the turtle wasn't irratated, do you think a dragonfish would be ok? the turtle has never shown signs of wanting to eat a fish, but the cichlids might be protective...

[pissnuggit]

ur fish suck ass accept the dragonfish gobies

[JDCredible]

@pissnuggit guppies and mollies are one of the main fish u could ever have

[susanfite]

What is that larger fish with the yellowish stomach and blue tail?

[gatogrande06]

nice tank. what kind of sand do you use?

[metalbassist54]

Woah. This is amazing. Exelent clarity and beautiful fish!! I would like to know.. How on Earth can you keep all those violet gobies without them constantly fighting?! I have only two ina 55 gallon tank and one is harrassed and attacked everytime it gets close to the other. Also, what species of plants are those??

[SamRothchild1]

How do you keep plants in that tank? All of ours die within weeks...

[lunartoxas]

actually a figure eight puffer are more of the docile puffers and mine gets along well with my community. just dont get snails or shrimp

[blownable]

You've wated a 72 gal!

[gizzmorrison]

what do u feed your dragon eel? at my qork they always die..but i know its because we dont know what to feed them!!

[phamkevin951]

how much marine salt did u use per gallon?

[Sentinel138]

Is that long silvery fish an Eel?

[puppyslovedogfood098]

no those are Dragon Gobies:) i love them

[jay942942]

Nice tank! I have 15 mollies of mixed types (sailfin, black, gold, balloon) in a brackish tank with 5 knight gobies, 5 bumblebee gobies and 2 orange chromide in a 93 US gal, can I add 1 or 2 dragon gobies?

Do they eat other fish? Are they peaceful? Will they be alright with my fish?

Or would 6 celebes rainbowfish be a better option?

[Nathan1097]

I see two dragon gobies- is that what you're calling violet gobies?

[metalfish24]

Ya he is, there called both dragon and violet,

[mmancano]

can you please tell me where i can get a flounder online thank you

[sorarox]

dude stores sell them

[corvettkiller666]

how expensive is that to maintain???

[redeyesthe20th]

probably 800 to start 15-20 monthly to keep alive unless a filter dies.

[snotbog1]

Is your flounder still alive? Mine only lasted about 8 months

[psychosocial82]

i just got a 11 inch dragon goby & he is with my 6 inch red oscar doing fine 4 now

[myangel833]

Pretty...I could never keep a dragon goby alive.

[xXxsecrets3liesxXx]

what kind of plants do you plant in a brackish tank

[ShellMoments]

I just started a new tank because i wanted a small community tank and well I didn't have a clue about puffers and i got two. Now i'm trying to balance the tank to both. So brackish will kill my mollies and other fish?

[xaviergal]

hi shellmoments,

I hate to be the bringer of bad news but puffers dont tend to make for good tankmates in a community tank, they are just too aggressive. The mollies will be fine in brackish, but will probably get fin nipped quite a bit.

[lorelome]

Yes! Puffers are very, very, very bad in community tanks.

[LUKEKANEPAPICHULO]

@xaviergal so not true ive had a shool of mollies with 2 gsp for quite some time now i agree they can b if your luck is to land on the killr puffer fish but aye not everyone can be lucky :)

[susanfite]

@ShellMoments Mollys are brackish fish. What other fish do you have?

[lesterclaypool1]

@ShellMoments excuse me ,,, but there many fish you can keep brackish ,, monos most damsels , eels , scats , columbian cats , mollie, guppy and all the live barrers canes sharks , datnoids , acci , gobies , and more but you should check the temperment of these fish , and dont forget brackish is often misinterperated it goes some time quite high in gravity try two table spoons pergallon ,,, ok ?

[defer48]

wat eels are in the vid???

[xaviergal]

they aren't eels, they are violet gobies =)

[pissnuggit]

@defer48 dragonfish goby... 10 bux at wal mart, 15 at petsmart

[MnMatty2507]

Love that tank setup with those Gobies.I have around 6 of them now and in brackish tanks split up in different tanks except 2 that have actually bred together

[kingssuck06]

very nice, you should get some monos and scats

[tokyoj3]

you got mollys.....I love mollys!!!!!!!!!!im breeding them right know!!

[Bangelo95]

sweet!

[tokyoj3]

i know!ONE OF MY MOLLYS GAVE BIRTH TO TWO BLACK MOLLYS!did any of your mollys give birth?

[Bangelo95]

yea but they died goby ate em

[tokyoj3]

o sorry that hapind to you.YOU HAVE SOME NICE GOBBYS!can i keep 1 in my 55 gal fish tanki have mollys,5 platies,3 clown loaches,4 school fish,1 long fined tetra,1 eel,2 gouramys,and that is about all.can i get one?

[leecristo]

No.

A violet goby needs a much larger aquarium than 55 gal.

They also need brackish water, which would probably kill a lot of those other fish.

[Legoman2255]

goby violets r the best fucking fish out there

[blazian88]

How much work is it keeping the upkeep of that tank and keeping it clean?

[chieftx]

Id like to study the possibilties of brackwater fish. from the looks of this tank it looks like there are even more opions than I thought.

[hawaiidoves]

Looking good!!!

[zmadmax06]

Are those Dragon fish?

[Legoman2255]

no there goby violets

[77snakewrangler77]

they're the same thing..... well actually i think there are sub-species but still basically same thing

[leecristo]

Subspecies of what? The violet goby is Gobioides broussonnetii. Other than that, I don't think there are any distinct subspecies. The gobies in this video are violet gobies.

[lyserg1k]

very interesting!

[SpeedyDemonec]

Beautiful!

[Arvenohx]

Wait, how did you get guppies in there?! I thought guppies weren't a brackish species...

Beatiful tank, looks a tad overcrowded though. Probably not, just that I am used to looking at my completely bare fish tank :P.

How hard are those flounders to keep?

[xaviergal]

guppies, like mollies, can be kept in brackish water. The supplier of fancy guppies for my LFS breeds his in brackish water only, apparently they are hardier in these conditions.

I definitely have loads of fry on the go, but the video is a bit deceiving because they have all rushed the front expecting to be fed =)

As for the flounder, they are pretty hard to keep, they prefer live food to the point where most wont eat anything but.

[HANBANANNA]

i can't see the purple gobies

[L011ipOpzDoH1pHop]

damn those gobies look like bichirs

[kb3gjp123]

I have heard of Mollies and gobys living in a Brakish Water Tank, But Guppies and Flonder. I have a 5 Gallon Brakish Water with 3 Bumble Bee Gobies.

[gsolman6]

Lots of activity there. The violet gobies look like some prehistoric lifeform. Are those live plants? What is your SG?

[xaviergal]

yeah, the activity level is a bit deceiving, its feeding time and the mollies and guppies are all excited at the front of the tank =) My plants are alive, its been an adventure of trial and error to find ones tolerant of salt, I have java ferns, java moss, anubias, and val. The java's do the best, followed by the val. with the anubias doing thie rbest to look good =) My SG is 1.008
