    Proper substrate for YWG/pistol shrimp

    I currently have a sand bed of about 3” of CaribSea Fiji Pink. I am about to add a Yellow Watchman Goby / Pistol shrimp pair and I’m worried that this won’t be substantial enough for them to make their burrows with. Any advice on what I could add and how I might go about mixing it into an...

    Watchman goby question

    Has anyone experienced a watchman goby burying themselves in a part of the tank where you can't see them? I'm thinking about one being one of the first fish in my tank, but I'm worried they'll end up in a tank I won't be able to seem them (especially paired with a pistol shrimp).

    Final Fish Choices

    Looking for a final fish to add into my 65g 4ft and thought of a smaller tang like kole tangs and bristoletooth tangs. I really want a yellow eye kole tang but it seems like they were affected by the Hawaii ban. Any suggestions? (Price Range: $50-120) I have: 2 clowns YWG Melanurus Longnose Hawk

    Yellow watchman goby & tiger pistol disappeared?

    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...

    EMERGENCY YWG Looking Really Bad

    Currently treating my YWG for a bacterial infection with Metroplex. He’s been in the QT for about 2 weeks now and everything seemed to be going great until tonight. Got home to feed him and turned on the lights to see a zombie looking fish. Super pale, brown stripes across his back and a brown...

    Yellow Watchman Bacterial Infection?

    So i’ve had this goby for about 4 months and probably a month ago, he began to develop a white scrape. I had assumed it was just a scrape because i saw it shortly after I had been moving my rocks around to catch a six line. A month later and it seems to be healing but still a reddish sore...

    Is my YWG acting "normal"?

    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...

    Untreated intestinal parasites heal on their own?

    Hi there, I have been reading more about fish diseases lately and I realize that, when I first got my Yellow Watchman Goby, she had an intestinal parasite. She had white stringy poop. It didn't last long and it has been several months now. Is there a possibility that it's just dormant and...

    Yellowhead Jawfish and Yellow Watchman Goby

    Hello there, I have a 40g reef tank with seahorses, a wheeler goby and YWG (captive bred). The 2 gobies actually live in the same burrow and are inseparable. Really interested in adding a Yellowhead Jawfish. Will there be any aggression? Thank you!

    Pistol Shrimp Cleaning Watchman Goby

    Okay guys, this is my first post so bear with me... I noticed something interesting in the tank tonight. I saw my yellow watchman goby hanging around the main burrow of my red banded pistol shrimp. This was moderately exciting because they haven't paired yet. (The goby has been hanging out on...

    Yellow Watchman in rubble.

    So I currently have a 55g tank. It's almost 2 years old. I would like to get a yellow watchman goby and pistol shrimp, but my concern is that I don't have sand in my tank. We currently have small rubble. We have had a variety of snails that seem to do ok with it, but does anyone know if the...
