Hi..here you have some more info on the violet gobys...it was really difficult to find some info about violet gobys..here is what you can give them to eat:ghost shrimp and black worms.you need maximum 1/4 inc of gravel and some places for it to hide in.Dragon fish (violet goby) has very small eyes and have difficulty seeing and finding food.The water temprature should be 65-78 degrees F.

The violet goby is also called dragon goby.
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?
