My bumblebee gobies hanging out with my figure 8. There are 7 juveniles and one adult BBG and my F8 is close to full grown. The BBGs are waiting for the F8 to eat some of the muscle so they can get some scarps. I love their fluid like movements.

  • He was that big when I got him & this vid was taken about 3 months after purchase. He has filled out a lot and grown a little longer in the past yr. A trusted site says it takes 2 yrs for an F8 to grow fully. Also F8s are wild caught and since mine was an adult then, he will probably be bigger than a tank raised juvenile as tank raised fish tend to not grow as big. Just keep up on ur 50% water changes, keep the KH up and SG around 1.004 and they will grow up well. ThePufferForum has great info.

  • They've been moved from the 29g to a 46g and I've added 3 more BBGs for a total of 11, and 5 celebes rainbowfish. The F8 is still in there too and is very well behaved.  My BBGs hide sometimes but are mostly out cruising the whole tank. I keep the SG around .005 and water change about 45-50% with aged/mixed water about every week to week and a half.

  • How long did it take for your puffer to reach that size, I have 2 juveniles at the moment

  • @j229929 50% is necessary for puffer fish....they are scaleless, and very messy eaters. so 50% a week is a good start

  • Is a 50% water change necessary? I only do about a 20% every week. But whatever makes the tank look good and it seems like its working. I just saw purple spotted gobies at the LFS. Do you have any experience with them? I bought knight gobies before but the figure 8s would nip at them.

  • cool setup..are they in brackish water? how often do you change their water? my bumblebee gobies never go up that high i guess cause of 3 f8 and 3 archers
