Amblyeleotris are fish that are super cryptic on their own, and having a pistol as its pair makes it even more cryptic. They will usually make one or two good holes and make a home out of them. These guys are known for disappearing for months on end, especially once newly added to a system. Something you could do if your worried about the goby starving is target feeding the area or hole you believe they are in.
Perfectly normal. They will excavate and set their burrows before you see them again. Check after lights out if you can.
Thank you! I’ll try that. The goby is so small. I can’t believe I haven’t seen since placing in the tank.
I just tried that. Nothing…but will keep looking! On the positive side, I took a nice pic of my starfish while searching. Thank you!
With my yellow goby and pistol it almost took a week for them to find eachother and make a hole. I actually used a little medicine cup a use for there food and captured the goby in it and put him under the rock I saw the shrimp go into and they immediately started a hole. Take in consideration the gody is only about a inch long.
I can’t wait to get a goby. My mushroom freaked me out this morning. It shrank up to nothing. I thought it was dead. I turned the lights on and it open up some. I thought something was wrong with it because I fed them last night before I went to bed and then I turn the moon lights on.
I’m not sure what this guy is
