14 gal bio cube - Mandarin goby training to eat from a bottle only had him for about a week I am adding pods to the tank as I am training. After you see this movie don't run out and get a Mandarin goby if you have a 14 Gal or even a 40 Gal its is taking up a lot of time and money to train him. Read a lot!

  • I have one in my biocube 29. I love it, very interesting to watch hunt for copipods,spaghetti worms and other tiny critters among the live rock. Sometimes he is able to snatch up some tiny feather duster fans growing on live rock. The fans grow back in a few weeks, lol.. You can tell if you have a male or female by its dorsal fin. The very first dorsal spine on males is very elongated . Females lack the elongated spine.

  • @appleyardi very, hard part is to keep live copipods and ampipods in the tank to sustain the gobies. I fully reccomend you to get the TFH book "Culturing live foods" by Mike hellweg to get you to the right direction

  • Are Mandarin Gobys hard to keep?

  • To answer everyones questions:

    To tell if your tank is ready, take a piece of liverock and stick it freshwater. If large numbers of copepods and amphipods fly out of it, your tank is ready.

  • Sorry my comment got cut off but continuing. I have so many Copepoda that every part of the glass I look at has some copepoda and I even have a refugium full of them. Do you think I can get a mandarin now or what else should I do before I get one

  • I have a 125 gallon reef tank and I want to get a mandarin but I'm not sure when the right time is,

  • Nice vid, i love watching mine swim around. Almost like a bird in water lol. I have some vids up of my guy too.

  • i think mandarin goby's are so cool looking. im definitely getting one.

  • @nboy55 I only target feed him bloodworms and fish eggs and he ats the mysis and brine that falls to the bottm

  • @28GallonBowfront mine eats evry thing i have 2 target feed though
