eretmodus death

Julies & some lamps really pester gobies. I see that you have Julies, maybe they could have caused the death.
actually this was the one i kept with the mbunas and julies, its a bit of a "misfit" tank. he was in there because the other goby had tore him to shreds. hes been in that tank happily for a few months, but i think it was ultimately my chailosi that did him in, because they were picking at him that day before i seperated him from the group.
the goby in the 55 is with a few L. multis and C. leptosoma, as well as a lone J. transcriptus, and doesnt have a single tatered fin. he never gets in any fights with the other fish and keeps to his own.
When I first tried gobies I thought they just needed spiriluna in their diet and that it wouldn't matter what else I fed as long as some was algae based. What otehr foods were you feeding?
its a mixed food that a african cichlid specialty store sells, he feeds the feed to all of his fish, can has no problems, its a fairly balanced diet. with spirulina in it.
Personally, if I wasn't feeding an algae based flake or pellet, I would only feed NLS. Just my own experience, I have successfully kept and breed eretmodus and spathodus, but have lost pairs and singles when mixing with non-herbivores and feeding a 'balanced diet.'
