Busy diamond goby

Sadly, this was the last I saw of my goby.  He didn't come out the following day, and didn't come out this morning.  When I saw my Apex ORP probe dropping rapidly, I suspected something died in the tank.  I dug out the sand from where he always sleeps and found his body stuck in the sand at the opening to his cave.  He always buried the cave opening each evening, and then darted through the sand into the cave.  But apparently this time the sand was too thick and he got stuck. 

I'm pretty bummed.  😢

Dang, that sucks...I wonder how that happened. Did you move some rocks around or something? Seems crazy that he just got stuck. Either way, sorry to hear.

No, nothing had changed.  Every night he would spend about 30 minutes diligently covering the open hole of his cave with sand, and then dive through it.  I guess he had grown larger, so  maybe that's why he got stuck.   Here's a slo-mo video I captured months ago:

Yeah I remember seeing that from before.

 

That's just a sucky situation [emoji22]
