Added the Diamond Watchman Goby to my 55-gallon reef tank last month. It’s very active and beautiful with its spotted pattern. Very peaceful and doesn’t stress other fish. Easy to spot in the tank and adds a lot of visual interest. Perfect for a beginner.
Alexander Dickens –
This goby has been thriving in my tank for three months. It’s calm, doesn’t chase other fish, and looks great. The tank is 60 gallons, which meets the minimum requirement. I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others.
David Gill –
The fish arrived healthy and settled in quickly. It’s a nice addition to the reef. A bit shy at first but now it’s exploring the tank regularly. Would be better in a larger tank, but still a great choice for a beginner.
