Gill Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I have had this guy for about a year. He has almost full adult coloration. There is ick in my tank I know this because there is a couple of spots on my blue hippo tang. The goby has no spots, but I cant be sure because he does live in a burrow LOL. Plus ick usually lives in the gills were it can not be seen, this is why you should QT all your fish unlike me LOL. My reason for selling is that with the more aggressive damsels in my tank I don't think he/she is getting enough to eat. Still has a great appetite but before the goby would come out of the burrow to eat and now he gets chased back inside (sad) I was hoping to get $10 OBO or trade. Would consider giving him away to the right home. This pick is older but his pattern has only gotten better. Oh wow he has changed a lot, I think I will have to take some new pics as these do not do him justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoralCrazy Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 if u wait to feed him after lights out he would be fine. mine is almost a full adult and contends with quite a few fish and i make sure to feed everyone first then put a little extra down where he is. they are a cool fish minus how they dig the sand out and bury everything. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some days I just throw in a couple cubes of frozen and don't even watch them eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellowithgills Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Do you think he'd partner with a red banded pistol shrimp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Engineer goby is actually in the blenny family. I really doubt they will pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 Engineer goby is actually in the blenny family. I really doubt they will pair. Actually it is neither in the goby or blenny family although it is sometimes called the engineer goby or convict blenny. They do not pair with pistol shrimp. They actually make there own burrows by moving sand in there mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoolander Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I have a cycled 5g nano needing a fish. If that sounds like the kind of home you'd want him in, PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that sounds like the kind of home you'd want him in' date=' PM me.[/quote'] I'm going to say probably not a good idea. Link. They are one nice fish if you don't mind them moving your sand bed.

dsoz Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 If you can catch him, I would trade for something that you want in my tank. I have a QT tank that I can set up for a while to keep him happy while he de-icks. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and the damsel get along now (scratch) The damsel moved into his burrow. At first I thought he must have been killed, but then I saw his head poke out and they were just hanging out together (scratch). Fish crack me up sometimes. I still want to re home him though because he still doesn't come out at feeding Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
