Curious Worm Fish

[Nanogasm]

Anyone have or had one of these? They look and sound really interesting, though I've yet to see one at any of my LFS.

no, but I believe that Scott Michael profiles it in his pocketbook of marin fishes.

Here's a profile in fishbase

It is in Scott's handbook. Interesting little fish. I wanted one of these for a long time but could never get my hands on one. Let us know how it goes if you get it.

I've had one and although they are cool fish, they only come out during feeding and are easily harassed by even the nicest tankmates. They bury in rock holes and in the substrate. You will hardly ever seen it.

neat fish... funky underbite mouth. They powerdive into the sand. They freak out easily, and jump out. A fish that small is hard to keep from jumping.

The hide a lot as mentioned.

I have had other worm Gobbies and they can be hard to feed and they jump every chance they get. Cover the tank well and only keep with mild tankmates - it also seems to help if they are kept in small groups.
