This fish can be 22" max.and minimum tank..is 80 gallons for this fish.you should have a cave or pvc tube or something simular so as the fish can take shelter in. Dragon goby should be in slighty brackish water with an alkaline PH.(You have 2 of them in a 29 gallon tank)...you need at least 80-100 gallons for these fishes. Do you have any pics of them?
