Hi everyone:
We thought that adding a Diamond Goby would be awesome - having a sand sifter on our CUC. We have a 55 gal tank and the only one we could get was - 4 inches or so.
Put him in the tank and if anyone here has construction experience - it was like having our own scraper [heavy earth moving equip.] he built himself a condo complex, kept the tank cloudy from all the sand moving, built walls that blocked flow, freaked out the anem and other fish, and nothing in the tank has done well since his arrival.
Husband was calming working this a.m. and I notice the goby in a QT. We knew this was not a good combo so I am glad he is getting so adept at fish trapping
Anyone have these kind of issues with this type of goby? Would you just give up or look for something tiny? He is so good at what he does - I hate seeing the look on his face [ i know] when he came and did his job beyond our wildest expectations.
Thanks for any thoughts [or chuckles] you might have on our continuing saga.
Jody
