davelin315 October 4, 2008 Share October 4, 2008 I have seen the neon gobies at Petco before, but the ones I have seen always seem to have fungal growths and more on them... too bad they can't clean themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefmontalvo October 4, 2008 Share October 4, 2008 Not to knock everything off Topic. But I just got back from two separate Petco's. The first one had guppies in the tank they seemed fine swimming along with there salt water cousins. The guppies were even picking and cleaning the algae covered live rock. The next store barley had anything just a bunch of rocks covered in cyano. I was a bit embarrassed by the site there was salt creep all over the glass and the pumps were blasting a water air mixture in the tanks. But then you go over to the fresh water side and it was nice and clean very well up-kept. Long story short there were slim pickings but they did have some nice live rock for nano tanks.

reefchick October 6, 2008 Share October 6, 2008 (edited) There is a new Petco in Ashburn. The conditions are the same - freshie tanks are all pristine, but the salt water tanks are nasty. Very cool gobie BTW Edited October 6, 2008 by reefchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Monkey October 6, 2008 Share October 6, 2008 They're great little gobies. They're constantly on my tangs cleaning them. I think their lifespan is only about a year to a year and half though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
