I can't believe I haven't heard of these fish before, they seem really cool and might even be easy to care for? I sometimes feel like all the cool saltwater fish are too difficult to meet the needs of - usually because they're too big or too delicate - but these are really small when full grown. I read you can keep them in a 10g minimum. Anyone have anymore information on them?

Is it Diademichthys lineatus you're referring to?

Oh I've seen these for sale before! Cool little fish. I think they're in the goby family which I actually wouldn't have guessed just by looking at them.

What do you think their care level is - easy?

Oh that's a little disappointing, I was hoping they'd be easy to keep. It's good to know that ahead of time though, if I do decide to get one. I'll research what kinds of foods are best to try them on from the onset.

Do you know if you can keep 2 or more in the same tank? I'm just wondering if they're territorial towards each other.

They actually remind me of seahorses, and seahorses aren't the easiest to feed either so I can't say I'm surprised to hear about their difficult feeding habits.
