He's doing fine, it's true that with the platys it is difficult to feed him, but he does eat, Simply because I put in enough bloodworms for all (for some weird reason he has grown to hate brine shrimp, he used to eat them, now he spits 'em out)
I have read that Bumblebee Gobys are completely adaptable to fresh water was well. However, although he is doing fine in my community tank, I plan to putting him in a species tank with 5 other bumblebees, a divider, and three knight gobies (BW fish)
I would have the salinity at about 0.005 or so, which would suit both fish fine. I felt I should do this because it is somewhat difficult to feed him, and since he only takes bloodworms, he is limiting the amount of variety my community tank gets, and also because I might get the bumblebees to breed in BW.
Yep, I'm aware of this, and plan on moving him out (*sob*) He's already put on an inch or so, and since he's been rather vulnerable to ich (appeared, disappeared, reappeared) I felt that I couldn't keep him to much longer. I don't have the room in the tank for a couple of friends, so he's gona have to go
Once him and the goby move out I'll replace them with an USD catfish that should fill the void, as well as do much better under the conditions
Although I didn't know this one, the reason I only had one otocinclus in my tank, was because I was having an absoulutely terrible time getting those guys to acclimate now, I have another oto that looks like he's going to make it, that puts the dead to surviving ratio @ 2:7! As for the otos needing schools, I find this difficult to believe, as in my tank they all part their ways and hunt for algae
