Awaous strigatus

[pastry]

Anyone else here ever keep them? Have 2 in with discus and they've been great for months. Just wondering because I really do respect SD members input over any others. Not too much online about them. Enough for me to know they're fine with water parameters. Also, male checkerboard chases them like crazy. They've eaten flakes, been great companions to discus, and funny as heck.

I had to google them as I didn't know what they were. They look like some kind of goby?

[pastry]

Yep, got pics. And totally open to Ryan or anyone else dropping some intel on them. Will post pics soon. Have one in my old planted thread at the end but will take new ones. Cool little gobies!

First 3 are of the larger one. Last 2 are of the smaller one (one pic with male checkerboard in pic for size comparison). Fun fun fuuuun little gobies with no interruption to discus at all.
