Drew Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I got an Engineering Goby over a year ago and he has gotten pretty large. Are they known to take out smaller fish? When ever i add a small fish like a chromy or small pistol shrimp they go missing around the first or second night. If its not the goby next suspect is the anonemes.

Emerald525 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have not heard specifically about an Engineering Goby but I have had heard the phrase "If it is big enough to fit in a fish's mouth then consider it food". We had an Ocellaris that ate our tiny little clown goby :(. The only reason we know this is Beth caught him in the act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cklskypilot Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have a very big one. and he has never killed a fish. but a couple of shrimp did come up missing. but that could have been due to the wrasse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
