Has anyone on here ever kept redigobius balteatus, aka clown goby? I looked them up on fishbase.org, and it said they can live in freshwater, brackish, and marine condtions. :confused: I found a great deal for purchasing them online, but want to know what conditions they should be kept in before I get them. I've heard they're possibly brackish fish, but never heard fully marine. There is very little info about their care online, so any info provided by you guys will be greatly appreciated!
 
They're commonly known as Rhinohorn Gobies, you may have more luck if you used that name when searching for information. I believe they're low brackish, care probably similar to BBGs.
 
It's always a good idea to use both. Caresheets and scientific papers will often contain the scientific name, but forum threads tend to use only the common name, and you could be missing out on information that way.
