Hi, Unfortunately today I found my Yasha goby In the back compartments of my tank (Fluval evo 50 litre). I quickly removed the media at the back and scooped him out, he then went back to doing his usual thing, swimming round the bottom. I then tried feeding him and he ate what he normally...

Hi, my 15 gallon saltwater tank has been cycling for 6 weeks now. I have been adding special blend bacteria and have been ghost feeding. I have tested my water parameters but am not sure if the tank is safe for a Yasha goby/ pistol shrimp pair. My parameters are: Ammonia= 0.1 Nitrite= 0 Nitrate=...

Hi, I have a Fluval evo 13.5 and was wondering whether a Yasha goby, tailspot blenny and neon goby would all get along together, thanks. This is my tank.. it has lots of live rock

Wondering if anybody else with a paired goby/pistol shrimp has experienced this. We got a yellow watchman goby last Wednesday and put him in the tank with a tiger pistol at the same time. They hit it off within 30 min and paired. BFFs. Later that night, the shrimp took off and made a burrow with...

Just thought I'd post a cute pic of my goby on shrooms Happy Saturday everyone

2 days ago I added a beautiful Orange Stripe Prawn Goby to my 30 gallon tank. After 1 day I noticed that one of my clowns bit his tail but I didn't worry about it because clowns are very territorial. Now at the second day when I got home I noticed anther bite in his upper fin. Now I’m starting...

Hi All, I recently picked up a beautiful Two Spot Goby that is currently in QT. I had read that they can be picky eaters and unfortunately that seems to be true with this little guy. As far as I can tell he has not eaten any of the frozen mysis or brine shrimp I've tried to feed so I am lookin...

Hi everyone, So my Dracula Goby was introduced to the tank last week. I used drip acclimation and hes been his normal hiding goby but today he’s just been sitting here not moving much. He ate this morning but hasn’t moved since. Is this odd behavior for a Dracula goby? My previous watchman was...

Sad day, today. I was cleaning my tank and apparently, I cant see because I killed my masked goby. Was wondering why my snails came out from the sand and when I looked around. Crab already chomping away at the goby. I cried. Worst of all had the fish for about 24hrs. Can't find my Rainford goby...

So, I’ve had my Randall’s Goby for over a year, and he’s been perfectly fine. In the past six months or so, he developed a serious bloat, as shown in the pictures attached. What should I do? It’s been the same size for quite some time, and doesn’t appear to affect the fish in the slightest...

Hello everybody. A few days ago I’ve bought a Randall’s goby and a Randal’s pistol shrimp. They are not paired, but my LFS said they will once they are in the tank together. The goby is around 1.5 inch and the pistol shrimp is around the same size, maybe a little smaller. Once acclimated, I put...

I just bought this 6 dotted sleeper goby and it is displaying strange behaviour. It hasn’t been sifting sand and instead it just looks like it’s gasping for air. I have checked all the tanks levels and everything is normal. Any help would be great not sure if I should return it back to the store...

Hi, I have a 75 Gallon Long Tank with 2 Ocellaris Clownfish, a Starry Blenny, a Chalk Bass, 3 Nassarius Snails, and a Blue Hermit. My sandbed depth is not consistent but the depth is 1-5 inches, on average its about 3 inches. My reef tank currently is very peaceful the clownfish do not pay any...

So I brought home a Yellow Watchman Goby and Pistol Shrimp 4 days ago. The YWG came from one store, and the Pistol Shrimp came from another. I've been having a very hard time to find a pair at LFS around me, so when I found one of each I decided to go for it. I obviously want my YWG and shrimp...

Just curious. How many of you have a panda goby? If so, can you post a pic here and let me know how long you've had it? Also, what fish do you have in the tank with it. I'd love to hear everyone's experience with them. Thanks in advance! ** pic for reference. not mine. **

Hello, I'm in the process of stocking my 50G bare bottom. I was thinking of adding one or more of these three gobies, depending of their availability. I hear they're pretty tolerant of each other. Pinkbar goby (Amblyeleotris Aurora) - [located] Orange Stripe Prawn Goby (Amblyeleotris Randalli)...

Stocking ideas for 16gal Biocube. Need opinions on this stock of fish. We are pretty open on snails so any you think would be beneficial to the tanks overall health we are open to hear about. If there is another fish you think we can sneak in please do tell we are fully open to see what other...

Hi, I got my YWG 4 days ago and off the bat he wasn't acting too normal. I thought he was just shy. But he just sits in his cave and the 2nd day I noticed he had some loose tissue on his lips. 3rd day, he had pale spots on his cheeks, and now today, his eyes are foggy and enlarged. I ordered...

Hey. I've seen a few threads regarding this but was hoping someone may have tried TMC Fine ECO reef sand? I currently have a thicker gravel like sand but I'd like to add a Goby. Therefore considering replacing current sand or mixing in a finer sand. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me if...

I have had a pink spotted goby for about 2 weeks in my FOWLR tank with 2 clowns and snails. He seemed perfectly fine until today. Didn’t really come out at feeding time or even go for the bits that went right past his face. His mouth is open and he’s gasping- but neither of my clowns are. It...

Hey y’all I have a waterbox 20 cube with 1 fire shrimp, 1 cleaner shrimp, a couple snails and a royal gramma baslett. I was thinking of getting a sand sifting goby in the tank, would it be fine and not jump out since I have a mesh lid with 1/4 inch holes?

I know you can get a watchman goby and a pistol shrimp as a pair but I have also heard that each species of shrimp goby has a certain species of pistol shrimp that pairs with it. If this is true, what are the common pairings? Also is the pairing something I can do myself?- meaning can I...

Hello I have been getting my tank ready for a couple months now. There is a adequate amount of algae that is forming and steady. currently I have a tuxedo urchin, a couple snails, an emerald crab, and a banded coral shrimp. my tank is a biocube 32 my question is I’ve wanted to get a pistol...
