	Marine tank
warrion_2000 Enthusiast Posts: 257 Kudos: 169 Votes: 1 Registered: 29-Apr-2003	I was reading some stuff about neon gobies, and wanted to keep some. Which lead to two questions. 1) What would be a good sized tank for 2-4 gobies? 2) How much salt do I need to add to the water for them to be able to live in it? Thanks!

As for how much salt, that depends on the salt you use. This will be stated on the package. You will want to get your gravity to 1.023 or so. Dan

I'm not sure I would keep 3-4 though, because I would think they would show signs of aggresion. If you were to do a 30g I would only do one or two neon gobies and then try a few damsels. Both are hardy fish and that would give you some variety. Neon gobies aren't as active as other fish, such as damsels so a 30g with all neon gobies might be a little boring. Just my opinion though.
