Sorry. they require a tank of similar dimensions and age as a dragonette

That of course is opinion. Some of the sources of my info feel like you do. That being that they eat the animal life in the algae beds. Others feel they eat the algae. There is some feeling that they do better in a well established tank. One of the sources states a 20 gallon tank will be fine. They all state the goby is a jumper, and a covered tank is recommended. I have introduced the fish into a well established 50 gallon tank, and I will keep you up tp date as to its progress, or lack of same.
