reefgeek84 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Ok, so I oicked up a diamond goby from Joel, and he is healthy bit is not shifting through the sand (wife) (wife) , he is just building a burrow under a rock and just hanging out in there and a serpant star in there (which worries me slightly)...But my quesiton is has anyone else had a sand shifting goby, not shift sand after being introduced into a new tank. I mean he has only been in there a couple of days, and I am thinking maybe he is just making a home...but its almost like he is a shrimp goby...So has anyone else expeirenced this?

sknoch78 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 My experience with the diamond gobies is that they are a bit shy and need a few days to get comfortable, but once they are, they do a great job. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I'm sure he needs the burrow to feel comfortable, since thats where they live in the ocean. Sounds like hes doing what hes supposed to do. Got any pics???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barelycuda Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 The one I just got from fantaseas did the same thing you are referring to. About 2-3 days of getting comfortable & then he went to town. The tank has never looked better. Cuda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuda Ok, I hope so...he has moved homes in the tank so hopefully he will come out...he is starting to venture out a little at a time...so we will see.

WAVES Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 cleanin sand yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefgeek84 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 cleanin sand yet? Yup... he is still very skidish...when I come to the tank he retreats to his many holes he has uncovered on the bottom of the rocks (good thing the one piece is digs under is one whole peice, so nothing falls over)...but the sand is getting clean, really well. Down side he is a bully to the jawfish, so the Jawfish has to keep moving, poor guy he just wants a small piece of real estate...no damage to him and is still eating so hopefully they will figure things out.
