Invert safe with goby...

[Terryz_]

Was thinking which invert would be safe with gobies or pygmy gobies...

Thinking of adding a pair of harleqiun shrimp in my goby tank... Would it be safe for my gobies...

[Ancelot]

might just cut our gobies into shreds?? lolx..just kidding..

Sea squirts lor. Very safe invertebrate. Don't eat fish one.

if i am not wrong, harlequin shrimps only feed on starfishes...your gobies will be safe...

in fact most shrimps for the aquarium trade should be pretty peaceful toward gobies...unless mantis or dwarf lobsters, u would want to avoid those..

How about a coral banded shrimp? Shld be safe enuff

Boxers would be a bit dangerous... Better not take the risk... Hmmm... So harlequin shrimp is relatively safe with gobies... Any other invert to reccommend that is safe for gobies...

Cleaner shrimps,Blood shrimps also should be safe.

Harlequins may seem a nice choice but you have to consider the upkeep of it.

Since they're obligate Echinoderms feeders, you will be required to feed them live starfish on a regular basis.

If you're using regular sandsifter starfish, they die quickly when set on by Harlequins. Unless they are consumed quickly, it'll pollute your water.

So assuming you have a nano, it'll shot the water quality quickly.

Do you think that is a possible scenario?

Yes... I have thought of it... But thinking of using frozen starfish... I will be getting those tiny harlequin from PR... So if i keep the star fish in another tank and cut the legs for the harlequin to eat will it affect the water quality by too much...
